Richiew Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 BOTT do very nice heavy duty workbenches and storage solutions, we have these at work ex ICI Plant at Wilton. I have a 3 drawer and one cupboard version with a 1.25m worktop in my gun room. It was very heavy and had to pull it upstairs on a rope but it’s rock solid and adjustable in height. In hindsight wish I’d got the next size up . Cheaper options from machine mart . Excuse the mess !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy RV Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 + 1 for Bott. Very good industrial quality but they don’t come cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgyrog Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I bought a nice dining table for a tenner at a clearance sale. It works well as a bench I use tote bins that stack for storage (got them given - lucky me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted April 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Thanks for heads up on Bott, thats the sort of product im looking for. Are there any other similar brands available in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorg Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have a homebase ultimate toll trolley, I think same quality as SGS stuff it does the job but could be more substantial. I really think you get what you pay for. Chinese stuff is Chinese stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanrichy Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hey, that workshop setup sounds like an awesome project in the making! Quality workbenches and storage are like the backbone of any productive space. Funny enough, I'm on a furniture upgrade spree too. My garden hangout needed a fresh look. Came across this site link with some interesting options – might just be a goldmine for your pro-quality furniture hunt. Here's to building a workshop that's not just functional but a total haven for creativity. Rock on with that dream setup, and may your future projects be as smooth as a well-oiled workbench.
