Prep Tables

I bought this for a specific use. I needed an 18" tall table on which to put a 10 cu ft refrigerator. So I cut about 18" off the legs of this table with a band saw and made it the height I needed. Shortening it down, with the shelf installed, made this table very sturdy. It holds the 100lb fridge, and it's contents, very well.The only flaw I saw is there are a couple of studs welded to the underside of the table that show in the surface. For my application is is a non-issue because there's a fridge sitting on top of it. If using as a true table, and wanting perfection, this might be a concern for others. Honestly though, I didn't notice it until well after I had assembled and installed the table.At this price point I expected 18/8 stainless, and that appears to be what it is. 18/8 is not a high grade of stainless. All stainless scratches easily, but 18/8 is pretty bad in this regard, and 18/8 rusts much easier than 306 or higher grade SS does. So if you are planning to use this outdoors, or in a commercial/industrial application where it will see harsh solvents or cleaners, you might want to consider a higher priced option better suited for that application.As it is, and considering what it is, this is a nice little table for the money. I would not hesitate to buy it again.

I was concerned about the many reports of damaged table tops on just about every single stainless work table listing, but this table arrived in pretty good condition. It had a few minor scuffs on the edges, but I easily smoothed them out with a green scouring pad (note: swipe in a linear direction, don't scrub around because you will see it). It's solid. It was easy to assemble. The protective film takes a minute to remove. It's tenacious. One note, the film leaves an edge of adhesive that looks like scratches, but it was easily removed by using the stainless steel cleaner I use on my appliances. We're going to use it on a porch for food prep and housing a little refrigerator under it. This isn't how it's meant to be used, so fingers crossed.

Wonderful professional piece of equipment! And the price is awesome! I struggled with some nuts that were stuck and didn't think the Alan wrench was included! I missed it - it was with the legs! And I trusted another review thinking mine was missing - luckily! It wasn't - it is heavy and works amazingly! I have to use it sideways in my small kitchen and space and I was able to find a shelf below Seville - 18" with a drawers for extra storage - I want to lower the shelf which is completely adjustable a little bit more so I can get the tops on of my new small appliances -The legs were stained? a bit from the plastic? And I have gotten the mottled appearance off with just glass cleaner and the recycled paper towels - glad I got the table - it's so awesome ! And I only had one small scratch - doesn't bother me at all ~So I highly recommend it- just look throughly! For the Alan wrench and some nuts in a bag. In the leg area and it can be used sideways! And there are shelves that can fit underneath for even more storage -Only issue - one leg - was either shooter or went In a lot deeper so it limits my leveling ability - but I have the table level ( enough) just need to adjust the shelf at some point ( sooner than later)I'll upload some photos and so glad I got this !

Using this as an Island in my kitchen. It was a great purchase. I lkve it. The only tjjng I dont like about it is that there are no support beams on the bottom skelf. So if hou put heavy things on it, it bowes in the middle. That would have been a nice addition. Other wise, it's worth what I paid for it.

Ultimately I gave this five stars because it ended up fitting the bill and seems to be working out. I wanted to make a coffee bar to get my keurig and coffee supplies off my counter top and out of my cabinets. I needed a shelf that had a tall enough space underneath to fit my roomba. I also wanted an easy to clean surface.The reason I came so close to giving zero stars were as follows...The first table that arrived I had to send back because...the underneath of the table has the leg holders which are bolted on and one of the bolts was snapped off just floating around in the box. If that was the only problem I probably would have attempted to see if that affected the sturdiness of the table - it probably would have been okay missing just one of those bolts because there are 6 bolts for 2 leg holders. But I noticed the table top also had these sort of SLIGHT rust looking stains on the top and the plastic film that was on part of the table top for protection was seriously scratched up and I thought who knows whats going on under the film if its that scratched...so given the snapped off bolt - the slight rust looking stains and the scratched up film I thought it was best to send it back.The next table arrived....this also had these slight rust stains....they were less noticable then the first table but it seems to be that these weird stains coincide with where the bolts screw in underneath to hold the leg holders on. So either they are rust stains or they are some kind of weird friction burn mark that penetrated from the bottom and I really hope the manufacturer of the table gets to see this review so they can try to fix their problem. Anyway I felt they were slight enough that I could live with it. Also even though the plastic protective film on the top was all scratched up the table top itself was not very scratched up. Table top was not pefect but good enough. If you are a perfectionist though you may not be happy with this table. I thought the flaws of the table balanced out with the functionality and price and decided to keep this one and put it together.So, me, a 47 year old woman was putting this thing together all by myself - everything was going swimmingly. Couldnt be easier - came with an allen wrench didnt even need to go in the tool box...then I get to the last leg and it doesnt want to go on. Tuns out the hole that the last leg had to go in had some extra welding dripped inside the hole that was sticking out too far to let the leg slide into place. It was at this point that smoke started coming out my ears and the top of my head blew up in the air and a train whistle sounded and all I could think was ZERO STARS ZERO STARS ZERO STARS!!!!!! With dreading thoughts of having to take it back apart and return yet another one I asked my husband for help...he was able to rasp out the extra welding material enough for us to get the leg on.Im happy with it. I think it looks great. See the picture. It fits the purpose for what I wanted it for...I dont notice the flaws to the top that much unless Im really looking for them. So if you buy this be ready for it not to be perfect. Keep the box in tact in case you want to return it. Maybe even have a strong guy with a rasp handy in case you have to file any extra welding out of the leg hole - lol.
