In a Nutshell: A real kid’s workbench with high-quality, durable construction 
The 20-inch height is ideal for little builders. View larger. Just Like the Grown-Up Version
The workbench looks like a miniature version of the one you might already have in your garage or basement workshop. At 20 inches in height, the flat, sturdy, spacious bench is designed for kids to comfortably stand and work.
A storage tray across the bottom holds projects in place. A hammer, saw, sawing board, wrench, screwdriver, vise, and assorted hardware for building are included, so kids can imitate their parents and develop important problem solving skills.
Ideal for Parent-Child Projects
The Wooden Project Workbench includes blueprints for a robot and an assortment of vehicles, so you and your little carpenter can learn to build together. While the bench, tools, and hardware are suitable for kids, the plans for the additional projects will require parental assistance to complete.
Pre-Sanded, Pre-Drilled, Easy-to-Assemble Pieces
The Wooden Project Workbench features pre-sanded and pre-drilled components with rounded corners. When fully assembled, it will provide a sturdy, safe workbench that will last for years.
While the instructions are easy to follow and all the hardware you need is included, the bench will take a commitment by Mom or Dad to assemble. This bench is designed for years of use, so you’ll need to budget a few hours for assembly before letting your child swing away.

Another winner from Melissa & Doug This is of the same excellent quality we have come to expect from Melissa & Doug toys. 100% all wood construction, very sturdy and hopelessly fun! This mom was able to assemble it all by herself in 45 minutes and handy she is not. My son loves this work bench and I love that there is no noise, batteries, or electronic doo-dads, just pure old-fashioned imaginative fun. I did give it 5 stars but my only complaint is I wish this toy was made in the U.S.A. For the price paid it seems the company…
Good quality, but would like more pieces This is a very sturdy workbench. However, it only includes a few nails to hammer, I think it should include more. Plus, a number of the screw tops have become unglued from the screws.My son and I enjoy building things using the diagrams, however we have to take each figure apart before we build a new car/robot/etc. Would be nice to have enough pieces to build multiple cars/robots/etc.
Great quality Easy to assemble, excellent quality. Only complaint is the number of connector pieces. It would have been great to have enough to build two toys at once. We purchased the M&D Tool Kits to expand the set, but the nuts and bolts are not compatible between sets as the threading is of a different size.
