Suggested improvements:

Mount a pegboard back to it for tool access.

On the right hand drawers, I removed the bottom of the upper drawer, and connected both drawers at the corners to make it a single deep drawer to hold die sets.

seal the holes in the top with some tape.

I have that table. Other then i didnt take my time with one drawer it works well enough for me. I did some mods to it. my room This is a pix thats a few weeks old. We redid the basement and i still other tasks to do. I have been slowly adding my reloading stuff to it and my boomsticks. The thing is iam trying to organize as i go. You get one chance to really put thought into it and well iam thinking. Plus my wife has alot of patience for me. I like the bench. Two mods i did were a nice larger top to reload on. Plywood 32/60. And plexiglass same size. Of course i secured the presses down. Here is a shout out to inline fabrication. Iam glad that i spent the money on their mounts. Rock solid and just "ahhh"to have. Good luck with it.

Thanks. A lucky find; that 20" deep table was what exactly what I needed for the space.
Plexiglass is a nice touch btw.

Thanks! I clean guns there too and wanted to have something more chemically resistant.

The tabletop is 3/4" hardwood. A hardwood table top by itself goes for about the same price. So yeah, $150 is pretty good for 4 drawers and a solid ass table top. The wood is completely sealed too. Not bad for the price.

How stable is it when you work the press? I'm always worried that a pre-fab, bolt together bench like that will be too flimsy, but that would be great for my new planned setup...

At the store I had my doubts, it was loosely put together for display. But taking it home and assembling it properly with just the hardware it's pretty solid. No way to tell a year or two down the road at this point, but it is solid after being assembled without the use of wood glue or steel strapping. I got that stuff since I was worried about it being flimsy... but ended up not using it. As a note, the bottom table is rated for 200 lbs so it can be weighted down enough.

I created several leaves that I mount into the wood vice on the right side with different equipment on them. That way when I want to switch from reloading to my gun vice, it takes 10 seconds.

These have been around for years and get posted from time to time. Everyone seems to like them.

Me I purchased a solid piece of 3/4 inch Poplar and some 2x4's and built my own for 100.00

From someone who has had one for a few years - Mine has been pretty sturdy. The bottom storage area has to be reinforced to put any kind of weight down there. Also, if on carpet, the bench has a pretty small stance and therefore is not super stable. Plywood bases definitely recommended if you're gonna put it on soft flooring. Nice bench for the price and ease of setup though.
