VEVOR Potting Bench, 44L x 24W x 44H in, Weathering Steel Outdoor Workstation with Rubber Feet, Multi-use Double Layers Gardening Table for Greenhouse, Patio, Porch, Backyard, Silver

When I received the table the outside carton had no damage, but the 2 shelves inside had multiple dings and bends in the metal. The ends of the shelfs had sharp edges, so cutting yourself was a constant concern. Because the shelfs were bent and distorted, installing the assembly screws was extremely difficult, most of the screw holes did not line up and had to be forced. When I did get it assembled the front short legs would collapse and fold in because the shelf they mounted to was thin and would bend and flex easily. None of the parts assembled at correct angles, so after it was assembled I had to do sheet metal bending and hammering to make the table even 1/2 way square and true. I could not recommend this table, even at half the price I paid for it.

Cons: I just spent several hours trying to put this thing together by myself, with many breaks to tend to bloody hands. I have four new gashes on my right hand from the experience. Can't wear gloves for the assembly because you can barely hold on to the screws/bolts with bare fingers, let alone gloves. The instructions are a complete joke, just a crappy photocopy, though it does warn that you might get cut. Yeah, you likely will. If two people can assemble, that might help avoid cuts.The product arrived with a few small dings in the metal, but I was able to fix those. Also a few scratches that can't be buffed out. Whatever. I can live with these imperfections because of how I'm going to use the table and where it will be placed in my yard. Nobody but me will know those imperfections are there. Seems pretty flimsy overall. I wanted something that wasn't wood and would stand up to rainy winters. If I can keep all the screw/bolt connections tight and not overload the shelves, this table should last me a few years.Pro: The screw/bolt package had extra parts, which was nice. Most assemble-it-yourself furniture kits, etc. are not generous with hardware. This had extras of the screws, bolts and washers.

I ordered this table and it arrives in regular time but in terrible condition. The table corners were bent so bad that the table could not be put together. With the corners bent the screw holes didn’t line up. So I returned the item and requested a replacement.The replacement arrived damaged but not as bad as first table that I had returned. So I decided to put this table together. Unfortunately this table doesn’t come with instructions. Just one piece of paper with three blurry pictures with a message “Caution injury hand”.I put the table together the best I could trying different positions to get the best way to line up the screw holes. While I was assembling the table I had cut my hands twice on the sharp edges of metal and I also got one metal sliver in my finger. The manufacturer cut and bent the pieces to specifications but didn’t do anything to dull the sharpness of the edges.Once it was finished the table was very unstable. Each time I tried to move the table the legs buckled because of the bent corners.Since this item was my new potting bench I started using it right away. I put two terracotta pots on top of the table and a 5lb bag of potting mix. Unfortunately that was too much weight and the table buckled under the weight.I took the table apart and threw it away. This item was a huge waste of money and time!!!Since I had this item replaced once Amazon didn’t give me a second option to replace or return this item. So I took it apart and threw it away.I will never buy from this vendor again nor will I ever buy this name brand again.I gave them 2 stars for shipping and replacing my order. I just can’t believe that I spent over $77 on something that was damaged when it was delivered and couldn’t hold weight once it was put together.Dare I label this item not worth the money.

First off, I opened the box and took out the legs, etc. Moved the table top and it is THIN, THIN metal. You ever waved a cheap thin cookie sheet to cool it? That weird rattly tin sound? That's what the table top sounds like when I was moving it for assembly. Wimpy, wimpy. Assembly would have been simple, except the bent corners right out of (and assembled on the box) were badly bent and I needed to use a hammer and a block of wood to straighten them enough to get the screws in. The "tool" they give you is hopeless - I hope you have your own wrenches. When I finished the assembly and stood it up, the legs were not all touching the deck, so a little bending and pushing solved that problem. Another review said the legs tend to bend in. I agree. You can see in my photos I ended up wiring the back legs to my deck rails and using 2 X 4's and two big pots to anchor the front ones. Also, I had to tape the front corners so I won't get cut on the sharp metal. There are scratches and dents all over it. Soooooo....my 'new' potting table looks like a used piece of crap I might have picked up at a yard sale for $15. I am appalled, but too difficult to take apart and get back in the box for return. WIth the anchoring it will work.Not worth half what it costs.

This table arrived damaged so badly that it cannot be put together. All the corners where the legs are screwed onto the table top are bent. The top of the table (both the bottom and top) are damaged, bent, and out of shape. The metal is light weight. I cut my hands just getting it out of the box. NO INSTRUCTIONS in box, only very dark photo copy of parts. Going back.

The package arrived intact, however the sheet metal parts were bent and twisted requiring measures to correct. Due to the damage the holes did not align. I had to drill out some to get a screw into the hole. Another example of why we should buy American and stop buying poorly made Chinese products.
