"Great tool bench from gardening and for puttering around the garage. Could be better if it had wheels. Once you put it together, it is difficult to move. If you have a perminent spot, it works. I have had mine for 14 years. Would like to know where i can get wheel attachment?"

Best if used with other Gorilla products,

"I purchased this bench because a) I needed one and b) the space it was going into already contained several rows of Gorilla Rack shelving.
The bench was joined at one end to a row of the Gorilla shelving using the supplied joining pins. The other end was fastened to a wall stud using a stub 2x4, as was the middle-back of the top shelf. The bottom shelf was left out so I could put a stool or large roll-around tools underneath it. Securing the ends of the bench and top shelf this way made it acceptably solid, a personal requirement for any work bench. (Note: this was a California location, so the securing also helped with earthquake preparedness.)
The product works well when used in this manner. However, I would not recommend it as a stand-alone unit, nor would it be my choice for a "go-to" bench. It isn't professional/industrial quality, but this particular line of Gorilla Rack products wasn't intended to be. These are light-duty products that go up/take down easily, and look decent when completed. They are made more solid by joining to other Gorilla products or secured as described above. Keep the shelving/bench loads within defined limits, and you'll be pleased. If you need more from a bench, consider other alternatives."
