Workbenches & Makerspace Shop Tables

Support hands-on learning with workbenches and makerspace tables designed for building, assembling, testing, and project work. These durable work surfaces are well suited for STEM labs, CTE classrooms, art rooms, workshops, and school makerspaces. Compare table height, work surface, size, and available features to match the activities and materials used in your program.

Choose a Work Surface for Hands-On Projects

The right workbench depends on how students and instructors will use the space. Consider the tools, materials, and project sizes used during a typical class, along with the amount of shared working room needed. For additional options designed for workshops and project-based learning, explore Industrial Work Tables & Shop Tables.

Keep tools, components, and project materials organized near each workstation without taking away valuable work space. Cabinets and nearby storage can help students return supplies between activities and keep frequently used materials within reach. Shop STEM Supply Cabinets & Art Material Storage to coordinate storage with your makerspace or classroom setup.

What Should You Consider When Choosing a Workbench?

Work surface: Choose a tabletop material suited to the tools, materials, and activities used in your program.
Height and size: Consider student age, working position, project size, and the number of users sharing each table.
Durability: Review the table's construction, weight capacity, and manufacturer recommendations for intended use.
Storage: Plan nearby space for tools, supplies, and unfinished projects to help keep work surfaces organized.

Which Workbench Surface Is Right for Your Makerspace?

Workbench surfaces can vary in durability, maintenance needs, and suitability for different activities. Review the specifications for each tabletop and match the surface to the projects, tools, and materials used in your classroom. Also consider available workspace, seating or standing height, and how many students will use the station at one time.
