Would this top be strong enough for a work bench top? Would it need more support than legs at 4 corners?

In my opinion, yes it is strong enough and should not need more than 4 legs.

It's a very strong countertop. It would absolutely be strong enough for legs. I use mine as a kitchen island and I love it. Very sturdy and durable.

It seems to be strong enough. It is advertised by Relius Solutions as a table top for work benches.

I think so. It is a very solid and stable surface to work on. I use it as my everyday office desk top, not as a work bench, but I feel confident that this will work for you.

Yes. As to the four legs question, it depends. If you are referring to those metal plates into which bolt topped legs can be srewed, no. Four by Fours with bracing yes, perhaps even 2x2s with bracing. Otherwise you wil not get a steady feel, there will be an unsubstantial feel, some sway.

we cut 200 lb cheese wheels on the one we bought. I bought another one a few years back for the same reason and it is holding up just fine. very sturdy and no cracks years later. I would suggest more than corner legs as it is a laminated piece. seems like it would need more bracing. both I bought sit on cabinets. basic cabinet support construction.

I have had it on 4 2X4s with 1X4 bracing around the top and bottom. Honestly, it is overkill to have bracing on the bottom. The top has worked well for me.

We bought this for an island counter top in our kitchen. Great piece, I would certainly think it would be fine for a workbench.

Yes, its is strong enough to use as bench. We've had three kids sit on it at a time (ages 8-10) and my father has also set on it and he is about 250 lbs. The top does have a little bit of a curve to itbut you can still easily use it as a serving table as well.

This bench is very sturdy, but I doubt it would hold that much weight. Check the info from the manufacturer for weight limits. There is a larger bench advertised, so you might want to compare with that one as it may hold more weight.

Yeah, i don't think that would be a problem... the bench is very stable lengthwise, it rocks a little side to side but its still stable that way as well. I'd give it a test run to be sure but I'm traveling at the moment.

a lot has to do with how big you make the benches, if your making them 8 ft, while i don't think there would be a problem, i might add a center leg to reinforce the two end ones. the benches have 4--2x4 and they will hold quite a bit of weight. i make my benches 6ft and i have never had a question about them. you might want to test 4-- 2x4 with 2 cinder blocks and see what you think.

I have the same issue, but it seems solid enough and strong enough. When we bench with 200+ pounds on the bar, and re-rack it, this little bit of give does tend to move the rack a bit, even with an additional 200 pounds on the weight holding pegs, so be aware of that. I definitely would not rack more than 300 pounds on this however - if you need to go beyond that weight, you should look into a whole cage because you are too advanced for this particular rack.

Yes but do you want to use it for a bench? It would not be very comfortable. It is very sturdy which is why I paid more for it.. It is great and looks as good as it is functional.

Certainly it is strong enough to hold his weight, but the bench is a bit narrow (14.5") and the seat back is about 16". There is a top rail that hits me across my shoulder blades when I lean back, which I find uncomfortable. So I like to insert a cushion if I want to lean back, which makes the seat narrower. My family uses the table a lot, but for short periods of time, like kids doing homework for 20 min or eating a quick breakfast before school. If we are going to be sitting for long periods of time, we sit elsewhere.

Its definitely strong enough, we have computer , monitor and cat jumping around, but I dont know about big, the top lest side might fit it but its going to hang a little there. its pretty small. if look AT the picture showing printer on the left side, probably not true, unless printer is pretty small .

Depending on how thick your top is ...our pit measures 43" 1" thick top 41" in width..I think it will work great. It is time for me to order another after several years of brutal winters and broiling summers... It is is beginning to crack.

I use this for my standing desk. It easily supports my 28" screen at a 12" lift and could probably go a couple inches higher.

I guess that would depend upon how much you weight you are putting on it. It has 4 legs and frame is firm but the rest is hollow so if you put a lot of weight on the middle don't think it would hold up.

No I don't think it would work well as the strength is in the width of it it would be too top heavy if it was on it's side , I wouldn't risk it !

It's plenty sturdy. I wouldn't run it over with a tank or use it as a hammer but it should hold up fine for you.

It's pretty sturdy but I suppose it would depend on how level the ground is and your own balance. I use it more for kneeling and being able to get up easier.

I would say no unless your table is extremely low. The intent of this bench is storage.

Probably, but not guaranteed. It is a pretty heavy duty bench with stainless steel runners, but I'm not sure if they will handle 350 lbs. The seat is larger than most, but it is still only around 18" wide. I weighed 230 and it handled me like I weigh nothing. But I cannot say how it would handle an additional 120 pounds.
