The WORKPRO 60 in adjustable workbench at a glance
WORKPRO 60 in Adjustable Workbench
- 60 x 22 in rubberwood top
- Five height settings from 31.5 to 39.4 in
- 4 AC outlets and 2 USB-A ports
- Rated for 2,000 lb (maker's rating)
A 60 in rubberwood bench with five height settings and built-in outlets. It suits a shop where you sit for some jobs and stand for others.
Pros
- Long top with a 1-3/16 in thick rubberwood surface
- Five height settings from 31.5 to 39.4 in
- ETL-certified power strip with 4 AC outlets and 2 USB-A ports
Cons
- Five set heights instead of a smooth range
- No drawers, shelf or pegboard are described
How tall is the WORKPRO workbench, and does the height range fit you?
The top runs from 31.5 to 39.4 in, in five set steps. If the steps are evenly spaced, they sit about 2 in apart, so you pick the closest step rather than an exact height.
Stand straight and measure from the floor to your bent elbow, since a work surface near that height is a useful starting point. Then measure your stool or chair seat if you plan to sit.
The lowest setting, 31.5 in, is a little taller than many desks, so seated work usually means a stool or an adjustable chair. Benches that go lower, such as the MUWOOD at 28 in, suit a regular chair better.
If you're weighing a set height against a fixed one, our adjustable vs fixed height workbench guide lays out the trade-off. For the numbers behind a comfortable top, see what height a garage workbench should be.
WORKPRO workbench height settings in use
Once you pick a setting, mark it on a leg or the wall so you can return to it without measuring again. Change the height with the top cleared, so nothing slides or tips.
Set the top so your forearms rest level when you work, and keep your feet flat on the floor when you sit. If you have ongoing back, neck or shoulder pain, talk with a doctor before you change how you work.
Is the rubberwood top and steel frame built for garage work?
The top is 1-3/16 in thick solid rubberwood with a clear coat, and the frame is steel. WORKPRO says the wood has excellent strength and wear resistance, and that the eco-friendly coating helps protect it against moisture and everyday wear.
That suits drilling, cutting and hitting jobs, which WORKPRO names, along with 3D printer, craft and electronics work. Use a mat under wet, hot or messy jobs, since the top is wood.
Steel is the usual pick for heavy metalwork. If you're torn between the two, our steel vs wood workbench guide compares them in more detail.
What power and storage come with the WORKPRO workbench?
The power strip is the main built-in extra, with four AC outlets and two USB-A ports. WORKPRO says the socket is ETL certified.
Follow the maker's manual for the outlets, and ask a licensed electrician about the circuit if you plan to run several tools at once. WORKPRO doesn't describe a light, but it names lamps as a use for the outlets.
WORKPRO doesn't describe drawers, a shelf or a pegboard on this model, so plan your own storage. A rolling cart, wall-mounted bins or a board on the wall keep small parts handy and the top clear.
If you want drawers, our best adjustable height workbenches with drawers roundup compares benches that have them. The MUWOOD in our workbench with drawers vs cabinets comparison is a 60 in adjustable bench that adds drawers, a pegboard and a strip light.
What does the 2,000 lb rating mean in practice?
The 2,000 lb figure is WORKPRO's rating for the bench, and it assumes the weight sits evenly across the top. A point load in one spot is a different case.
Spread heavy items out instead of stacking them in one corner, and keep your heaviest tool in mind when you plan the layout. The rating is not a promise for every use.
An uneven floor changes how a bench carries weight, so check that the bench sits level before you load it. For more on how floors and loads change the number, see how much weight a workbench can hold.
How hard is setup, and what should you check on delivery?
Setup comes down to following WORKPRO's detailed installation instructions in order. The bench weighs 90.5 lb, so plan on a second person for the lift.
Benches this size arrive heavy and bulky. Check the box on delivery for damage and count the hardware before you start, so a missing bolt doesn't stall the build.
WORKPRO doesn't mention leveling feet on this model, though its crank and 96 in benches have them. If your floor slopes, our guide to leveling a workbench on an uneven garage floor covers levelers and shims.
Have these ready before the box arrives:
- A helper for the lift, and a clear path from the door to the spot
- A level, to check the top once the bench is in place
- A stool or chair that matches the height setting you plan to use
- Bins or a wall board for the small parts the bench doesn't store
How much room does a 60 x 22 in bench need?
You need a 60 in wall run plus clearance at each end, and a clear path to carry the boxes in. The 22 in depth is shallower than the 24 in on WORKPRO's 96 in bench, so it takes less floor in a narrow garage.
Check the space above the bench too. At its highest setting the top sits near 39.4 in, so a wall shelf or cabinet that hangs low can get in the way.
Leave room to raise and lower the bench without catching anything, and keep it out of the walkway to the garage door.
The bench stands on legs, and WORKPRO doesn't describe wheels. At 90.5 lb, pick the final spot before you load it, or look at a mobile workbench with drawers if you need to roll your bench out of the way.
How does it compare with other 60 in adjustable benches?
The WORKPRO has the narrowest height range and the fewest extras of the three 60 in adjustable benches we compared. What you get instead is a plain top with power, which suits a shop that plans its own storage.
| WORKPRO 60 in | MUWOOD 60 in | CAMMOO 60 in | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top | 60 x 22 in rubberwood | 60 x 22 in rubberwood | 60 x 22 in rubberwood |
| Height | 31.5 to 39.4 in, 5 settings | 28 to 40 in, 6 levels | 28.8 to 39 in, 6 levels |
| Storage | None described | Drawers and a pegboard | Pegboards and a rubberwood shelf |
| Power and light | 4 AC outlets, 2 USB-A ports | 4 AC outlets, 2 USB ports, strip light | 4 AC outlets, 2 USB-A ports, magnetic LED light |
| Rated load | 2,000 lb | Over 2,000 lb | 2,000 lb top, 500 lb shelf |
| Weight | 90.5 lb | 105.1 lb | 89.2 lb |

Who should buy the WORKPRO workbench?
Buy it if you want a long, flat top that rises for seated and standing work, with outlets built in. It suits repair work, crafts, hobby projects and 3D printing, which WORKPRO names as uses.
It also works as a desk or storage table in a spare room, as WORKPRO notes. A long top helps when you lay out several pieces at once.
Keep the power strip within reach of the work, so you aren't stretching across the bench for every plug.
Who should skip it?
Skip it if you need drawers, a pegboard or a smooth height change, since this model describes no drawers or pegboard and moves in five steps. Skip it too if you need a rating above 2,000 lb, because WORKPRO's 96 in model is rated for 4,000 lb.
If you want a smooth hand-crank lift or a built-in pegboard, the benches below fill those gaps. If you have ongoing back, neck or shoulder pain, talk with a doctor before you choose a work height.
How do the other WORKPRO benches compare?
WORKPRO also sells a hand-crank bench and a 96 in bench, and each solves a different problem. Pick by the height control and top length you need.

How we scored the WORKPRO workbench
We compared the specs and features, and our score weighs specs and features against what you're shopping for. This bench scores 8.3 for a long top, five height settings and built-in power.
It loses points for a narrower height range than its 60 in rivals and for having no drawers or pegboard. It stays above 8 because the top, the frame and the power strip cover the basics well.
Is the WORKPRO workbench the right pick for your garage?
Pick the WORKPRO 60-inch workbench if you want a long rubberwood top with five height settings and outlets built in, and you can live with set heights. Pick the crank model for smooth height changes, and the 96-inch model if you need a longer top and a higher rating.

Frequently asked questions
How tall is the WORKPRO 60-inch workbench?
The top sits between 31.5 and 39.4 in high, depending on which of the five settings you choose, and if the steps are evenly spaced, they are about 2 in apart. Measure your stool height and your standing elbow height first, since no setting may land exactly where you want.
What does the WORKPRO workbench's 2,000 lb rating mean?
It is the maker's rating, and it assumes weight spread evenly across the top. WORKPRO rates the bench for 2,000 lb, but a rating is not a promise for every load, so keep heavy machines, point loads and your floor in mind before you set anything down.
Does the WORKPRO 60-inch workbench have outlets?
Yes, it has a power strip with four AC outlets and two USB-A ports, and WORKPRO says the socket is ETL certified. Follow the maker's manual when you plug in tools and lamps, and ask a licensed electrician about the circuit if you plan to run several tools at once.
Is a rubberwood top good for a garage workbench?
Rubberwood is a solid hardwood, and WORKPRO coats this top with a clear finish to guard against moisture and everyday wear. It suits drilling, cutting and general garage projects, but steel may suit heavy metalwork better, so match the top to the jobs you do most.
