  10. Which adjustable height workbench with drawers to pick

An adjustable height workbench with drawers lets you set the top for sitting or standing and keeps small tools in reach below it. We compared six benches that combine the two, checking each one's height range, drawers, wheels, top and rated load.

Four of the six roll, and two come with a strip light and a pegboard. Two pairs also share near-identical specs, which we explain below.

The 6 best adjustable height workbenches with drawers in detail

The MUWOOD 60 scores highest because it pairs six tool-free height levels with drawers, a pegboard, a strip light and a 1.2 in top. The Maemttes 60 scores lowest because it gives no height range, even though it's sold as adjustable.

MUWOOD 60 in Workbench With Drawers and Strip Light

MUWOOD 60 in Workbench With Drawers and Strip Light, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for tool-free height changes with a strip light
8.8/10Our score
  • Six height levels, 28 to 40 in, no extra tools
  • Drawers and a strip light
  • 4 AC outlets and 2 USB ports
  • 1.2 in rubber wood top

Six height levels with no extra tools let you switch between sitting and standing. MUWOOD adds drawers, a pegboard and a strip light on the 60 in top.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • Six height levels from 28 to 40 in with no extra tools
  • Pegboard with a section for hanging boxes
  • Drawers and a strip light in one bench

Cons

  • Heavy at 105.1 lb, so plan for help on delivery
  • A 22 in deep top is shallower than the 24 in tops on the VEVOR and climblocka

The MUWOOD 60 is for a bench that changes height without extra tools and keeps small parts in drawers. It's a 60 x 22 in solid rubber wood top, 1.2 in thick, on a metal frame with support rods.

Six levels run from 28 to 40 in. MUWOOD says you need no extra tools, which makes the switch between sitting and standing quick.

The pegboard has a section made for hanging boxes. The strip has four AC outlets and two USB ports, and MUWOOD says the outlets are ETL certified.

A strip light adds task light for close work. MUWOOD says the bench carries over 2,000 lb, which assumes even weight and isn't a promise for every use.

At 105.1 lb, it's heavy, so plan for help on delivery. Skip it if you need casters, since it stands on legs, or if you need a drawer count, which MUWOOD doesn't give.

VEVOR 60 x 24 in Adjustable Workbench on Wheels

VEVOR 60 x 24 in Adjustable Workbench on Wheels, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for an oak top on locking casters with a hidden drawer
8.5/10Our score
  • Hidden drawer, 22 x 14.8 x 3.7 in
  • Four 2.5 in swivel casters with brakes
  • 4 AC outlets, 2 USB ports and a 10 ft cord
  • Seven heights, 29 to 41 in

A hidden drawer with a stated 33 lb rating sits under an oak top that measures 60 x 24 in. VEVOR rates the bench for 2,000 lb.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • The only drawer with a stated size and rating, 22 x 14.8 x 3.7 in and 33 lb
  • Swivel casters with brakes to roll and lock
  • A 10 ft power cord and seven height positions

Cons

  • Height changes by moving the leg bolts, so it's slower than a knob
  • The drawer is rated for 33 lb, so keep heavier tools on the top

The VEVOR 60 is for an oak-topped bench on swivel casters with a hidden drawer. The top is 60 x 24 in, or 1,440 sq in of work surface, on a Q235 steel frame.

The drawer measures 22 x 14.8 x 3.7 in, and VEVOR rates it for 33 lb, so it suits small tools and hardware. Keep heavier items on the top.

Four 2.5 in swivel casters have brakes, so you can roll the bench and lock it in place. The power station has four AC outlets, two USB ports and a 10 ft cord.

Seven positions run from 29 to 41 in, and you change them by moving the leg bolts, not by turning a knob. VEVOR rates the bench for 2,000 lb, which assumes even weight and isn't a promise for every use.

At 67.9 lb, it's lighter than the 105.1 lb MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO. Skip it if you want quick height changes, since the leg bolts take longer than a knob.

climblocka 60 in Adjustable Rolling Workbench With Drawer

climblocka 60 in Adjustable Rolling Workbench With Drawer, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for a rolling bench on a cold-rolled steel frame
8.1/10Our score
  • Six height settings, 29 to 39 in
  • Drawer and wheels
  • Cold-rolled steel frame with four crossbars per side
  • Power outlet

A drawer and wheels on a 60 x 24 in top make this a rolling pick with a cold-rolled steel frame. climblocka rates the bench for up to 3,000 lb.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • Drawer and wheels in one bench
  • Six height settings from 29 to 39 in
  • Four steel crossbars on each side for stability, climblocka says

Cons

  • The top is called both solid wood and engineered wood, so confirm the material
  • Drawer size and wheel locks aren't stated

The climblocka 60 is for a rolling bench with a drawer on a steel frame. It's a 60 x 24 in wood top with six height settings from 29 to 39 in.

The frame is cold-rolled steel with four steel crossbars on each side, which climblocka says adds stability. Iron brackets support the top, and climblocka rates the bench for up to 3,000 lb, assuming even weight.

The 24 in depth gives more room across the top than the 22 in MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO. The bench has a drawer, wheels and a power outlet, and the tabletop wipes clean, climblocka says.

Assembly needs no special tools, and everything for setup is in the box.

Skip it if you need an exact drawer size, a stated wheel lock or a clear top material, since climblocka gives none of these. It calls the top solid wood in one place and lists engineered wood in another.

FIXCHIGO 60 in Adjustable Workbench With Drawers and Strip Light

FIXCHIGO 60 in Adjustable Workbench With Drawers and Strip Light, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for a stationary bench with a strip light and a pegboard
7.9/10Our score
  • Six tool-free heights, 28 to 40 in
  • Drawers and a strip light
  • 4 AC outlets and 2 USB ports
  • 1.0 in rubber wood top

A 1.0 in rubber wood top with six tool-free heights sits on a steel frame. FIXCHIGO rates the 60 in bench for 2,000 lb.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • Six tool-free heights from 28 to 40 in
  • Strip light and a pegboard with a section for storage boxes
  • 4 AC outlets and 2 USB ports, which FIXCHIGO says are ETL certified

Cons

  • Leg base, not casters, so it doesn't roll
  • Heavy at 105.1 lb, with a thinner top than the MUWOOD

The FIXCHIGO 60 is for a bench that stays put, with drawers, a pegboard and a strip light. It has a 1.0 in rubber wood top, 60 x 22 in, on a 1.3 mm steel frame with horizontal support rods.

Six tool-free positions run from 28 to 40 in. The pegboard has a section with slots for hanging storage boxes.

The strip has four AC outlets and two USB ports on a 6.6 ft cord, and FIXCHIGO says the outlets are ETL certified. An LED strip light covers the work surface.

FIXCHIGO rates the bench for 2,000 lb, which assumes even weight and isn't a promise for every use. It weighs 105.1 lb.

Its size, height range and weight match the MUWOOD, and the only difference we found is the thinner top. Skip it if you want casters, since it has a leg base.

Pelnuies 48 in Adjustable Workbench With Drawer and Wheels

Pelnuies 48 in Adjustable Workbench With Drawer and Wheels, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for a compact 48 in bench with brake wheels and a drawer
7.5/10Our score
  • Height from 29 to 39 in
  • Built-in drawer
  • Brake wheels
  • Power outlets

A built-in drawer and brake wheels on a 48 in bench give you storage and mobility in a smaller footprint. Pelnuies rates the bench for 2,000 lb.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • Drawer and brake wheels
  • Height adjusts from 29 to 39 in
  • Power outlets built in

Cons

  • The top is chipboard, so wipe up spills quickly
  • Outlet count and drawer size aren't stated

The Pelnuies 48 is for a smaller adjustable bench with a drawer and brake wheels. It's a 48 x 24 in chipboard top on a steel frame.

The height adjusts between 29 and 39 in. Pelnuies says the mechanism is easy to use, and the range suits sitting or standing.

The built-in drawer keeps tools and supplies in reach, and power outlets sit on the bench so you can run tools without hunting for a socket. Pelnuies says the brake wheels lock the bench in place during use.

Pelnuies rates the bench for 2,000 lb, which assumes even weight and isn't a promise for every use. It weighs 62 lb and needs assembly with the included instructions.

The 48 in length takes less wall than the 60 in benches here, which helps in a tight garage. Skip it if you want a solid wood top, since this one is chipboard, or if you need a drawer size or an outlet count, which Pelnuies doesn't give.

Maemttes 60 in Solid Wood Workbench With Drawers

Maemttes 60 in Solid Wood Workbench With Drawers, adjustable height workbenches with drawers
Best for a solid wood pedestal bench on wheels
7.1/10Our score
  • Drawers and wheels
  • Solid wood pedestal base
  • Built-in power strip
  • 3,000 lb maker's rating

A solid wood pedestal bench on wheels with drawers gives you storage and mobility. Maemttes rates the bench for 3,000 lb.

See it on Amazon

Pros

  • Drawers and wheels in one solid wood bench
  • Built-in power strip for chargers and tools
  • At 64.1 lb, much lighter than the 105.1 lb MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO

Cons

  • No height range is stated, so check the height you need before you order
  • Maemttes doesn't say whether the wheels lock

The Maemttes 60 is for a solid wood bench with drawers and wheels. Its pedestal base and wood construction differ from the metal frames on the other benches here.

Maemttes rates the bench for 3,000 lb, which assumes even weight and isn't a promise for every use. It weighs 64.1 lb, and the top measures about 59 x 23.6 in.

The built-in power strip keeps chargers and tools close, and the drawers hold screws, bolts and small tools. Maemttes says the sturdy wheels make the bench easy to move.

Maemttes sells the bench as adjustable but doesn't give a height range. It also doesn't say whether the wheels lock.

The data shows the same model number, weight, size and rating as the climblocka, though the two describe the build differently. Skip it if you need a published height range.

Side by side: height, top and rated load

The table lines up each bench's height range, top and rated load. Most start at 28 or 29 in, so the drawers, wheels and top decide the choice more than the range does.

How we picked these six adjustable height workbenches

We checked the specs, materials and features of each bench. Five details drove the scores:

  • Height range and how you change it
  • Drawers, and how much we know about them
  • Wheels and whether they lock
  • Top material, size and thickness
  • Outlets, light and the maker's rated load

Drawer details counted for more here, since drawers are the reason to pick these over a plain adjustable bench. Where a detail is missing, such as a drawer size or a height range, we say so on the card instead of guessing.

We judged each bench on its specs and fit, not on how many people bought it.

Our score weighs specs, features and buyer feedback against what you're shopping for.

Two pairs of these benches look alike

The MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO share a size, height range and weight, and the climblocka and Maemttes share a model number, weight and rating. Treat each pair as close cousins, not as four different designs.

The MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO are both 60 x 22 in, 28 to 40 in and 105.1 lb, with the same outlets and strip light. The one difference we found is the top, which MUWOOD gives as 1.2 in thick and FIXCHIGO as 1.0 in.

The climblocka and Maemttes carry the same model number, 64.1 lb weight and 3,000 lb rating, yet they describe the build differently. One lists a steel frame with an engineered wood top, and the other a pedestal base with solid wood.

That's why the MUWOOD ranks above the FIXCHIGO, since it states the thicker top. The Maemttes ranks below the climblocka because it gives no height range.

When two benches look this close, compare what each brand states and pick the one that gives the details you need, such as a height range or a wheel lock.

Check the height range before you pick an adjustable height workbench with drawers

Most of these benches run from 28 or 29 in up to between 39 and 41 in, which covers both seated and standing work. MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO span 28 to 40 in, VEVOR spans 29 to 41 in, and climblocka and Pelnuies span 29 to 39 in.

Check the range on an adjustable height workbench with drawers

Stand relaxed, bend your arm to a right angle and measure from the floor to your elbow. Many people set the top near that height for general work and a little lower for heavy hand work.

Then check the lowest setting against your chair or stool. The lowest setting on every bench with a stated range is 28 or 29 in, about the height of a typical desk, so seated work needs a stool or chair that fits.

MUWOOD, FIXCHIGO and VEVOR each cover 12 in of travel, and climblocka and Pelnuies cover 10 in. A wider range helps most when two people of different heights share the bench.

The mechanisms differ. MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO use six levels with no extra tools, and VEVOR has you move the leg bolts across seven positions.

Clear the top before you change height, and follow the maker's manual for the steps. If you have ongoing back, neck or shoulder pain, talk with a doctor about how to use a height-adjustable bench.

Using one bench at two heights

Use the higher settings for tasks where you want to see the work up close or keep your back straight, such as marking, sanding or sorting small parts. Use the lowest setting when you sit, or for heavy hand work where you want to lean your weight into the job.

Mark your two favorite settings on a piece of tape on the leg so you can find them again. A bench with six or seven levels gives you a few steps in between, while a wider range only helps if the steps land where you work.

For more on picking a height, read what height should a garage workbench be. If you'd rather have a motor, see best electric adjustable height workbenches.

How do drawers change legroom and storage?

Drawers under the top take up space you might want for your knees, so check the open space before you plan to sit. None of the six makers gives knee clearance or says where the drawer sits.

MUWOOD, FIXCHIGO and Maemttes say drawers without a count, and climblocka, VEVOR and Pelnuies describe a single drawer. Only the VEVOR gives a size, 22 x 14.8 x 3.7 in, and a rating of 33 lb.

A pedestal base like the Maemttes puts storage in a column under the top, so check the open space beside it too. Measure your tools and the space under the top before you order.

Keep heavier tools on the top and small parts in the drawer. A tray inside the drawer stops sharp or loose items from sliding when you open it.

MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO also add a pegboard, which gives hanging space the drawers don't. For more rolling benches with storage, see best mobile workbenches with drawers.

Locking wheels or a fixed leg base

Four of these benches roll, and MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO stand on fixed legs, so they stay where you set them. VEVOR has four 2.5 in swivel casters with brakes, and Pelnuies says its brake wheels lock the bench.

Here is what each bench says about its wheels:

  • VEVOR: four 2.5 in swivel casters with brakes
  • Pelnuies: brake wheels that lock the bench
  • climblocka: wheels, with no lock stated
  • Maemttes: wheels, with no lock stated
  • MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO: no wheels, leg base

Climblocka and Maemttes don't say whether their wheels lock, so try them when the bench arrives. Lock the wheels each time you stop, and before you lean on the top to press or lift.

A garage floor with cracks, a slope or a drain can make a rolling bench drift. Choose wheels if you move the bench between spots, and choose a leg base if it stays put.

A 60 x 24 in top needs about 5 ft of wall, plus room in front to stand and to pull a drawer out. A rolling bench also needs a clear path, so read garage workbench ideas for small garages if floor space is tight.

For the trade-offs in more depth, read adjustable vs fixed height workbench.

How thick is the top, and how heavy is the bench?

Only MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO state a top thickness, 1.2 in and 1.0 in, both over rubber wood. The VEVOR top is oak, the Pelnuies top is chipboard, and the climblocka and Maemttes tops are wood without a stated thickness.

Chipboard can swell if spills soak in, so wipe up liquid on the Pelnuies right away. The climblocka top is called solid wood in one place and engineered wood in another, so confirm the material.

Depth decides your reach. The MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO tops are 22 in deep, and the VEVOR and climblocka tops are about 24 in.

Weight runs from 62 lb on the Pelnuies to 105.1 lb on the MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO. Benches this size arrive heavy and bulky, so check the box on delivery and count the hardware before you start.

MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO both suggest leaving the screws loose until the frame is together, then tightening them. Both also mention pre-drilled holes to help with setup.

VEVOR and Pelnuies include assembly instructions, and climblocka says setup needs no special tools. For a closer look at a bench with a rubberwood top and five fixed height settings, read our WORKPRO 60 inch adjustable workbench review.

Outlets and light: what each bench includes

MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO each have a strip light, four AC outlets and two USB ports, and VEVOR has four AC outlets, two USB ports and a 10 ft cord. The climblocka, Maemttes and Pelnuies have outlets built in, but they don't give a count.

Follow the maker's manual for the strip, and ask a licensed electrician about the circuit if you run several tools at once. If a built-in light matters most, the MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO are the two with a strip light.

Count the outlets you need for chargers, a work light and your tools before you choose. The USB ports on the MUWOOD, FIXCHIGO and VEVOR help when you charge a phone or a cordless battery at the bench.

Which adjustable height workbench with drawers to pick

If more than one person uses the bench, pick a model with clear height levels, such as the MUWOOD or FIXCHIGO, so each person can note a setting.

Pick the MUWOOD 60 if you want tool-free height changes, drawers and a strip light in one bench.

Pick the VEVOR 60 if you want an oak top on locking casters with a drawer of known size.

Pick the climblocka 60 if you want a rolling bench with a 24 in deep top and a steel frame.

Pick the FIXCHIGO 60 if you want a stationary bench with drawers and a strip light.

Pick the Pelnuies 48 if you want a smaller top with a drawer and brake wheels. Pick the Maemttes 60 only if you can confirm its height range before you order.

If you'd rather skip the manual height changes, see best electric adjustable height workbenches.

Frequently asked questions

What height range does an adjustable height workbench with drawers need?

Most of these benches go from 28 or 29 in up to between 39 and 41 in, so measure your elbow height while standing and check the lowest setting against your chair or stool. VEVOR reaches 41 in, MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO reach 40 in, and Maemttes doesn't state a range.

Are drawers useful on an adjustable height workbench?

Yes, drawers keep screws, bolts and small tools within reach, but only the VEVOR gives a drawer size (22 x 14.8 x 3.7 in) and rates it for 33 lb, so measure your tools before you buy. Keep heavier items on the top, and check the open space under the top if you plan to sit.

Do adjustable height workbenches with drawers roll?

Four of the six do (the climblocka, VEVOR, Maemttes and Pelnuies), and VEVOR and Pelnuies say their wheels lock while climblocka and Maemttes don't say. MUWOOD and FIXCHIGO stand on legs, so they stay where you set them, and you should lock any wheels before you press or lean on the top.

How much weight can these benches hold?

The stated loads run from 2,000 lb to 3,000 lb, and each one is the maker's figure that assumes the weight is spread evenly, so point loads and the floor matter. Check it against the heaviest tools you plan to keep on the bench, and don't treat it as a promise for every use.
