The 8 Best Adjustable Height Workbenches

This wiki has been updated 19 times since it was first published in January of 2019. You’re going to encounter some challenges with most home improvement and do-it-yourself projects, but if you’re equipped with a quality workbench, at least you’ll be prepared for many of them. In addition to providing a sturdy surface and a central hub for organizing your tools, these height-adjustable models offer another level of versatility. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

1. BenchPro Resin

A fine, functional piece of equipment, the BenchPro Resin (around $1219) provides dependable stability and doesn’t suffer from any of the sharp edges you’ll find with some other models. Its thick top can withstand a pounding without bending or warping, so no need to be overcautious.

Available in a range of sizes
Chemical-resistant surface
Backed by a 25-year warranty

2. Gladiator GAWB06MTZG

Stout steel legs serve as the foundation for the Gladiator GAWB06MTZG (appx. $516), which can support a considerable load without buckling or shaking, allowing you to achieve precision in your work. You can modify it to sit as low as 28 inches or stand as tall as 42.

3. Seville Classics UltraHD

Even though it’s a heavy-duty, utilitarian model that can support up to 1,000 pounds, the Seville Classics UltraHD (appx. $178) looks decent enough to blend in just about anywhere, from a corporate office to a bedroom or a garage. Its durable surface is four feet wide.

Resilient powder-coated finish
Simple leg locking knobs
Padded feet to prevent scratching

4. Little Giant WST2-2460-AH

No one will ever accuse the Little Giant WST2-2460-AH (appx. $392) of looking attractive, but who uses their workbench for decorative purposes, anyway? It sports a tough, powder-coated steel exterior that should endure regular use for years.

Half-depth shelf with lip
Made in the united states
Supports more than 4000 pounds

5. Keter Compact

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Keter Compact (about $80) weighs less than 30 pounds — this rugged table can still support up to 700 pounds of lumber, tools and other gear. It’s a portable, all-purpose model with strong, rust-resistant aluminum legs.

Folds up for easy transport
Ideal for use as a sawhorse
Included clamps are subpar

6. Trinity TLS-7202

The surface of the Trinity TLS-7202 (around $350) is made from rubberwood, a tropical hardwood that’s known for its durability and resistance to warping and shrinking. It’s available in two sizes, and its telescopic steel legs are constructed with a sleek black finish.

Height adjusts in 2-inch increments
Looks nice in the kitchen too
Not the most stable option

7. Husky Table

If office workers who toil on a computer all day are able to enjoy the benefits of alternating between standing and sitting, why shouldn’t craftsmen get that opportunity? The Husky Table (around $348) allows you to do just that, and it features a handsome wooden top, to boot.

Fluid swiveling casters
Overhang for attaching clamps
Screw holes could be aligned better

8. Wen WB2322

You can smoothly raise or lower the Wen WB2322 (around $82) using its straightforward foot pedal, and you can also extend the width of the table from 12 to 19 inches, giving you a ton of flexibility in terms of setup. It folds up for storage, which is convenient.
