|great kit,
I first painted the brackets black to provide some contrast I left the screws alone.
Cut all the 2×4’s and birch 3/4″ plywood to make a 2 layer top.
Assembly was straightforward. I used my Milwaukee impact ratchet. I wouldn’t want to use a manual screwdriver.
Once put together it provides a very stable table. I mounted a 4″ vise on the end without issue.
I made the bottom shelf higher which allowed me to store my floor jack and stands underneath. The lower shelf stores all my oil, parts, paint, etc. Mounted a peg board along the wall behind with a LED shop light and the Harbor Freight combo tool cabinet on the end. I’m well organized now. I also put locking casters under the bench which raised it a tad but make it much easier to move if needed.

|A good turnkey solution for workbench hardware,
I can’t evaluate the included plans, but the brackets and screws are high quality and this is a convenient package. I’m very happy with how my workbench turned out and it’s plenty stable for my purposes (and I’ve tested it out by hopping onto it a few times).
If you’re looking for something that’s ready out of the box, I think this is a great option and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. My only reason for knocking off one star is I don’t think there’s actually much savings versus buying the components individually, if you have a hardware store nearby that sells them.

|Really great kit,
I chose to use pressure treated lumber. At the big orange box, their 1×4 is not the same thickness as the 1×6. This is because the latter is sold as decking and is nominally 5/4 inch. (My local store did not have true 1×6 in stock.) Not a big deal and the bench looks great.
The potting bench is a variation using kit WBSK. The online materials list calls for decking screws, but there are not sufficient included with the package. Had some 2.5″ in the garage, which I used for the cross braces and some 2.0″, deployed for attaching the surface tops.
Most of the time was involved with cutting the wood. All cuts are straight chops, no angles needed. Very well thought out product. You might be able to save a few dollars by buying angle fittings yourself, but the Simpson kit is thoroughly engineered and works.
