VEVOR 36 x 24 Inch Stainless Steel Kitchen Prep Table with Maple Wood Top & Lower Shelf - Heavy Duty Work Table for Food Preparation, Cooking, Baking | Perfect for Home Kitchens, Restaurants & Outdoor Use

This is a generally well made table, with a two layer oak top (definitely NOT MAPLE), stainless metalwork (except for the leg sockets that bolt to the underside of the table top, which seem to be carbon steel, or perhaps a much lower grade of stainless than the legs and bottom shelf) and overall very nice fit & finish for the asking price.The top came pre-finished with some sort of open oil treatment, but there were three "fills" where knots or chips in the wood were covered with wood filler. If you intend to use this as a direct cutting or dough working surface, then that could be an issue, but if you're just using it as a utility table, then they should be no problem. I chose to re-sand the top at 220 grit and apply an oil that also contains beeswax, but for many users that would be unnecessary, since the finish it comes with is pretty OK and much better than I had expected!The legs and bottom shelf are stainless steel (hardware too by the look), but quite thin/light compared to a real commercial prep table, they will undoubtedly do fine in most home kitchens, but I would take the rated weight capacity as a maximum value, not as a working load. The bottom shelf should also be loaded with lighter items near the center and heavier near the legs, if you want to put a lot of stuff on it ...it's just relatively thin sheet steel and has no reinforcing frame (most commercial tables have either much heavier gauge sheet metal, or a frame, or both).The adjustable feet work well and have large bottoms that should be fairly kind to floors, but the core of the foot is plastic and small shreds of plastic that were deformed when the upper part of each adjustable foot was crimped into the bottom of their corresponding leg are visible at those seams.It didn't come with any instructions, but there's only one possible way that it goes together, if you aren't at all mechanical, then get a friend who is to help with assembly. As a bonus though, it did come with one extra piece of each screw, nut and washer, as well as a 5mm hex key, which is the only strictly necessary tool to assemble the table its self, though a wrench or pliers helps with getting the lower leg bolts as tight as they ought to be. Attaching the utility hooks, requires a drill and correct size bit, but the hooks are the weakest link in the whole design and I'd suggest leaving them off anyway.All of these criticisms aren't to say that the table isn't good (it definitely is!), but to point out the differences between this and a $600-$1000 commercial table that has the same basic appearance.Not everyone needs commercial grade durability and this table definitely fills a budget/utility niche very nicely.i like the maple butcher block its real wood nice and heavy. Stainless steel frame its good enough for size of table. it was definitely smaller than advertised everything is of by an 1” or so and my hooks had one that was broken and it was actually missing. i was refunded some money back for the damage making it worth keeping the table. I am using it as an island its perfect for thatIt’s a nice table but it had no instructions for assembly but it was simple enough to put together. My only problem is the adjustable feet didn’t allow the reach the height of my countertop. Just about 2” shy. However I did order a maple wood slot to add to the end for my kitchen knives.Love the top but no assembly instructions included….at all!I have tried various silicon mats and bread boards for bread making. I found this maple-top work table and use it for nothing but making homemade breads. The 36” x 30” size fits perfectly in the center of my kitchen. It is heavy and it does not move around, even when kneading dough. The bottom rack easily stores 25 lb bags of flour and anything else you might need to keep handy in your kitchen. Even sticky sourdough cleans up easily on this table top with a bench knife/scraper. I recommend!Very low quality for the price point. The wood is not smooth, at all. Very rough with splinters sticking up. I'm going to have to sand it down before I oil it. Extremely annoying. I would return it but I couldn't deal with lugging it to the store to return. Amazin really needs to start doing something about their quality control of their sellers. Looking forward to the day when I can start shopping in stores again so I don't have to keep returning low quality, over priced items to Amazon sellers.Only 32 1/2 inches high. Supposed to be 35 inches. Missing nuts and lock washers for shelf assembly. I had to run to the hardware store for nuts to finish assembly. And there were no instructions included. Granted, not rocket science, but come on. Overall, it is a great table, but not sure I would buy from this manufacturer again.The top is solid and seems good quality. The pieces that secured the top did not line up to the legs, it is somewhat secured. The feet needed to be shaved down to fit in the legs. The screws to secure the pan hanger are not strong to withstand to torque to install into the block. No directions included
