You can easily find a serviceable desk or workbench for about $100 just by heading over to your nearest Ikea store. But if you insist on solid wood instead of a fiberboard or particleboard surface, then your options become more limited. Fortunately, there's one available at Amazon right now. For a limited time, you can get this 48"x20" adjustable height workbench – featuring a solid rubberwood desktop and steel frame – for just $105.99 with free delivery. Seeing as how the other options on the product page cost well over $200, this looks like a pretty fantastic deal.
48"x20" Workbench With Solid Wood Desktop for $105.99
The highlight feature of the "Enjoywood" workbench is most certainly the desktop, which is a finished butcher-block style rubberwood that measures 48" long, 20" wide, and 1.25" thick. Rubberwood is a hardwood with a hardness rating similar to cherry and walnut. The tabletop is completely solid, meaning there's no particleboard, fiberboard, or carboard interior. The desk sits atop a steel frame and four tubular legs that support a maximum load limit of 2,500 pounds, which is pretty impressive. The average standing desk, for example, supports less than 300 pounds. Additional quality of life features include a 4-outlet power strip that's integrated into the frame, pegboard mounting holes, and leveling feet.
Sure it's marketed as a workbench, but there's nothing stopping you from converting it into an industrial looking desk, except maybe for the fact that it's taller than your standard desk. Desks are typically 27" to 30" tall and this workbench is adjustable in height from 31.5" to 39.4", so you'll need a taller chair to compensate (or potentially remove the feet).
