On February 12th, I bought the Keter Folding Workbench, one of the most popular models among DIY woodworkers or anyone with limited space for a fixed workshop. I received it on February 14th and have been using it intensively for over a month.
This isn’t a quick review or a “copy-paste” from the spec sheet. It’s my real experience, with the good, the bad, and the in-between — after seriously using it: I sawed, sanded, cut with a circular saw, and even planed wood directly on top of it.
🔧 What I Liked Most
✅ Includes clamps:
This is no small detail. The clamps fit perfectly into the workbench and hold firmly. They’re incredibly useful for working without your piece moving all over the place.
✅ Super easy to set up and fold:
You literally open and close it in seconds. Ideal if you need to pack it away after each use or work in tight spaces.
✅ Surprisingly sturdy:
I bought it a bit skeptical, but it really impressed me. I worked on it with force, and it held up beautifully. It’s solid, stable, and feels safe.
✅ Takes up very little space when folded:
Perfect for people who don’t have a permanent workspace. You can tuck it in a corner and forget it's there until you need it.
🤏 What I Didn't Totally Love
❌ The internal support block takes up storage space:
There’s a structure under the tabletop that gives it rigidity, but it limits how freely you can use the lower shelf. You can still store things — just not as freely.
❌ Access to the lower shelf is only from one side:
If you leave something on the opposite side of where you’re working, you have to walk around to grab it. Not a dealbreaker, but it’s noticeable.
