Keter Heavy-Duty Folding Workbench with 1,000 Pound Capacity - Foldable Work Table for Garage, Woodworking, and Outdoor Workshop with 12 Inch Adjustable Clamps

As a DIY enthusiast, the Keter Portable Folding Table has been an incredible addition to my workspace. It's sturdy and easy to set up, making it ideal for various projects. The built-in clamps are a fantastic feature, holding materials securely in place while I work. I appreciate the portability; it folds up easily and is lightweight, so I can move it around my workshop or take it to different job sites without any hassle. One thing that stands out is the table's stability. Even with heavier tools and materials, it remains steady, which is crucial for precision work. The workbench surface is spacious, giving me plenty of room to lay out my tools and materials. It’s also great for larger projects where I need a stable and reliable surface. There’s really not much to dislike about this product. If I had to mention something, it would be the initial assembly, which took a bit of time to figure out. However, once set up, it’s been smooth sailing. For anyone into DIY projects, this workbench is a game-changer. It has improved my workflow and provided a dependable work surface that I can rely on for various tasks.

This work table is great, easy set up, easy take down, very portable, very stable. Worth the price.

I’ve had this five years and just recently damaged it trying to close it while exhausted and impatient when something was trapped in it. My bad, not Keters. It has been very robust and versatile. Covered in spilled varnish, gouged from saw mishaps, and other signs of abuse are proof of its utility. I’ll be buying another - this one is still usable bug the part I broke could leave it weakened.

First and foremost, this is a great work table. Once set up, it’s nice and solid. I have found one downside however. When the table is unfolded, there are two hinged supports on either side of the middle section when it opens up. In order to push the handle into place and lock the table open, these supports sometimes have to be manually pushed outward into their fully extended position. I would recommend caution when pushing these into place! I found a pinch point on one of them and it took a chunk out of my finger about 5mm in diameter so please be careful!

It's amazing how sturdy this thing is for being a super-portable compact folding-table. They say it is rated at 1000 Lbs capacity. Hmmm... I don't know about that... maybe if you stacked that amount of weight on it slowly, and made sure it was evenly distributed... it just might hold that much. I know I can sit on it and it doesn't wince. The unique (and patented) folding system provides several interlocked supports: two on the side, one in the center. Those fold into place and lock very easily. The main braces connect the upper and lower surfaces. Those, in turn, hold the aluminum legs in places quite rigidly. The net result is the entire table is VERY sturdy and remarkably stable too. Because the tubular legs are of fairly large diameter, the entire table is quite rigid... astoundingly rigid considering it's light-weight. The super-nifty cool-gizmo factor is in the way it instantly and automatically opens. Go look at YouTube videos. This thing really works like that! The clamps can fit into slots so they can be used as a pair, much like a bench vise. Or they can be slipped through the hand-sized holes to clamp vertically and hold boards DOWN to the surface. If you are familiar with the excellent Irwin Quik-Clamps, you'll instantly understand how these clamps operate. However, these clamps have an extra function: not only the feet move, but the clamp-heads move too. There are many times I have wished for that feature when using other clamps! These clamps are light to medium duty though. They are not as rigid or powerful as the heavy duty Irwin models. But they are fast and convenient, certainly strong enough for many DIY, home-repair and craft / shop project applications. What's delightful, besides the nifty way it unfolds, it how compact this is. When collapsed or "closed" it is only a few inches wide. That slim profile made me worry when I saw the box arrive, because I thought it was going to be another "some assembly required" nightmare. Nope... This comes FULLY ASSEMBLED, but in the closed position. You just open the box, remove the protective "warning" tape, read the brief clear illustrated instructions and Bam! It's open! I am a sucker for workshop gadgets. Over the decades, I can't tell you how many dozens of workbenches I have tried; all of them promising stuff they never fully delivered. The Skill multi-function bench had some neat ideas, but was made so cheaply it never worked well and didn't last long. I have tried rolling work-benches, tool-cabinets, clamping stations, workmates... you name it. All of them do a few things OK, but all of them were also cheap, inaccurate or difficult and flimsy. They all quickly found their way to garage sales. This is the FIRST TIME in my fifty-plus years of woodworking that any folding bench-table-clamping-center doohickey has EVER worked as advertised. Really. No exaggeration. Go find the videos. It opens just like that. Even on my first try it worked perfectly. You really can sit on it. The clamps actually lock in place and really do clamp with fair holding power. It folds up fast and takes little room. There are several hand-holds built in, so it is easy to move Up & Down stairs or through tight doorways. I often need to move to the basement or outdoors for DIY projects, so that compactness and those handles are a boon. It would fit in a smart car. I could fit four of these in my trunk. Eight of them would fit in the back seat of any normal sedan. You could easily slip several of these under a bed. Now, could it be improved? Yes, slightly. Instead of BLACK, which absorbs heat when working outdoors, a lighter color would be nice. When I use this outdoors in the blazing noonday sun, the surface gets HOT. A lighter color would alleviate some of that endothermic nuisance. That would also make stuff on the lower shelf easier to see. Black drywall screws tend to hide on dark surfaces. Some users may want heavier-duty clamps, but these clamps are well-matched to the sturdiness of the table. In other words, you won't be doing any heavy hand-tool work with this. It is quite rigid and sturdy and stable, but it wobbles a bit if you try to do hand-planing on it. Power sanding? No problem. My only regret is that I jumped at this low price too soon and did not realize there is another model with adjustable legs. This height is a trifle LOW for much of the work I do around the house. But it is a nice height for refinishing small projects, sanding, clamping, light hand-saw work and glue-ups. If you are TALL, then you might want the adjustable version at a slightly higher price. I think the only way you could find a more perfect design would be to make it yourself. Even though I have made MANY dozens of workbenches and cabinets, I could not make one for seventy-bucks that was any better. It would certainly be an engineering challenge to design one that folded up so compactly yet remained so sturdy when open. If you often need a little workbench with clamping options but are short on space with a low budget... I recommend this thing ( or its adjustable-height brother) highly.

I'll start with the obvious: This is a very cheap folding work table. Expect the plastic molding to be imperfect. However, I just bought my second one of these and for someone who works on them occasionally, both have been far more functional than I expected for the price. The plastic molding issues are mostly cosmetic, a few stringy strands to pull off when I unpack them. The tolerance in the built-in clamp holders is pretty tight, the clamps are a bit difficult to pull out and put back in to their stowing slots. But, that's nothing. These tables are fantastic, despite the very minor issues above. Fix the above, and you're paying at LEAST 4x the price per table. These fold up into almost nothing. When not in use, they stow away in hardly more space than you'd use to hide a folding chair. They have handles on all sides, and they are light enough for someone who works on stuff to lift easily. The weight is easy to manage. I'm able to hold one of these tables at full arm's length, long enough to turn sideways and slide into a little slot against the wall next to a cabinet behind a desk. They are extremely portable. Taking them up and down stairs is easy, due to flexible handle options on all sides. Two hands, one hand, one in each hand, easy. They unfold instantly. If you don't need to hold a lot of weight, this table goes from suitcase form to functional table in about one second flat. If you need to hold weight, you do have to spend another 10 seconds or so making sure the supportive flaps are locked in. Once they are locked in, two reasonably fit people could dance on top of this table with zero concerns. I use one for my miter saw and once set up, never thought I was using a plastic table. The real kicker is, they also fold back up instantly. You just unlock the support flaps, hold by the correct handles, turn it upside down, and shake. All of the legs fold back up into place, maybe having to nudge one or two to get back to fully folded suitcase form. If I had bigger hands I could easily carry four of these, whereas just one KREG table is my limit. The action of the clamps isn't perfect but it's good enough for what you'd use this table for. The clamps are actually pretty smart, with both clamp parts moving independently on the bar. This lets you quickly expand the bottom of the jaw to make room, quickly slide the bottom of the jaw to meet your part, and squeeze the trigger a few times to lock in place without having a lot of clamp bar sticking out from the table. My only complaint is the holsters for stowing the clamps are too tight a fit, I have to use a trick to get them to fit back in once I'm done. (Release the upper jaw. Slide all the way up. Squeeze the handle just once. Slide the lower jaw to meet it, then it will fit.) I've bought two of these now. The second one is for use indoors, and came in handy to glue up 3D prints and wrap holiday gifts, each time taking less than half a minute to pull out and set up, and under half a minute to pack up and stow. A+.

I have 3 of these workbenches. They fold up very compactly, just 4-1/4" thick in a solid 21-1/2" x 33-1/2" rectangle with rounded corner so it doesn't hurt jabbing you when carrying it folded. Super easy to set up (maybe 5 seconds) and also to collapse. When collapses, the legs fold right into the workbench top. Only thing that can be tough is shoving the middle piece in enough to snap to lock. My husband has no problem with it, so probably just an arm strength thing. That middle shelf is convenient. They are extremely functional. I use it for sanding all the time and all my different grits sit on there nicely. I stain using sometimes 4 different colors and the ones I'm not holding in my hand sit there waiting for me to grab them, as are extra rags. Lately I've had my large sliding compound miter saw sitting on one of them. I've had my oldest one for about 4+ years now in a working wood shop and it's just as sturdy now as it was when it was new. No warping that I've noticed. Much easier then the other very popular portable work bench. One of mine has sat in the rain for a few weeks while working off site under no cover. Happy to not have to worry about rusting. There is literally no end to uses not just in the shop, but also the craft room or even gardening shed.

I got this in 2018 for Christmas. Ever since I've used this table countless times, both indoors and outdoors and once in pouring rain. This buddy has not let me down ever. Assemble was easy. The main thing that sticks with me is the solid, stable, and rugged construction. The folding feature is what sold me on this gem. Yes, the price has gone up since 2018 but it's well worth it. This buddy of mine and I are pals for life. Five stars indeed.

Well designed folding and unfolding mechanism for a compact and sturdy work bench.

Muy buena para realizar trabajos, resistente, práctica y muy portatil

Die Klappbare Werkbank ist eine tolle Sache genau das richtige für Heimwerker super leicht gut zu Tragen L.G. W.K.

I bought this item as I do lots of work around the house and figured it would be handy to have. I am a Dewalt guy but picked the Keter table instead because I like the idea of a bottom shelf and the reinforcing rib in the middle. The bonus is that it also comes with 2 clamps that are pretty decent and lock into the table top fairly securely. The table sets up and folds down quite easily and feels very well built. I ordered this item in December 2019 when it was on sale for $106, but after ordering I found the same table at Costco for $69. I tried to cancel my order but it was shipped anyways. The only difference is that the Amazon table was yellow and the Costco one is red. The Amazon one was eventually returned for a full refund. There are models that have adjustable legs with a reduced weight rating but neither of these have that. When its folded up it has the main carry handle on the side and two more on either end. It weighs about 20 pounds and there are 4 small holes on each end, possible to bolt 2 or 3 tables together. The only complaint is that the legs are a bit floppy when its folded up but nothing a bungee cord can't fix. When folded up, this table is thick enough to stand on its own. So far I have only used it to wrap Christmas gifts on and as a spare table for Christmas dinner.

Easy to put up and Easy to drop down ,plenty of workspace and the two clamps slot in Easy and are very versatile and easy to use ! For me its the best work bench I've had, love it ,also very sturdy too🙂👍👌
