Product Description
Build your own workbenches with our excellent selection of tops. They are made of Eastern hard rock (sugar) maple and coated with a Durakryl finish. This finish leaves the maple a natural color with a satin smooth, low sheen surface which is virtually maintenance free. The top can be cleaned like any other counter surface using soap and water, bleach or fingernail polish remover. Please note: Workbench tops over 84" may have visible finger joints.• Measures 96" W x 30" D x 1-3/4" T • Made of Eastern hard rock (sugar) maple • Coated with Durakryl finish • Made in USAMaple workbench tops are flat when glued together at the factory. However, you must allow time for them to adjust to the temperature and humidity of their new home before they will return to their factory condition. Do not store the workbench in a damp location or lay flat on a concrete floor as this may cause the top to warp. Please note that these are designed as workbench and shop cabinet tops. If used as kitchen countertops, additional sanding and finishing will be required.

Excellent Workbench
By Warren McNeil
Thank you Amazon.com for making this workbench available. When I opened the box I thought, I could bowl on this thing. But, once the maple was on the Shop Fox base, it turned into a fantastic workshop addition. The 8' length offers plenty of room for projects and tools. I've also added 30" high storage shelves with casters on either side of the base.

Refuse delivery if find any damage - no credit given
By A. Larsen
Short version:-Top is beautiful and well constructed-If damaged, refuse delivery-No credit given for keeping damaged top. Exchange is only option.Long version:No problem with the product itself. Sticker on the back indicates these are made by Michigan Maple Block Co. (website is [...]). Nice to see these made in USA.Shipping experience was poor. Top was minimally wrapped: a single layer of cardboard with plastic protector pieces on the corners. Shipping company did the rest: one corner of the box was torn away, and the middle was gouged. Unboxing revealed 10 other areas of damage (scratched, dented, gouged). Taking out some frustrations I suppose.According to Grizzly, there is no credit, gift certificate or otherwise, for accepting a damaged top. This contradicts what other reviewers have said here on Amazon about other Grizzly maple tops, but this is what they told me today (8/23/11).Your only option is to exchange it for another one. Fair enough. But be prepared to prove your case to Grizzly. In my case I spent more time than I cared for getting photos of the damage to Grizzly and following up on multiple phone calls and e-mails with them.If I was going to do this again, I would have refused delivery. Have them keep sending 'em until an undamaged one arrives.

By Victor H. Agresti
Grizzly G9916 Solid Maple Workbench Top 96" Wide x 30" Deep x 1-3/4" ThickI'm using this workbench top as a counter-top with a sink inserted, in an enclosed garden room. (See Customer Images.) It looks great and is eminently practical, since the top can be used for virtually any type of project. We had considered buying one of those Formica-type counter-tops sold by Lowes or HD, but they are pathetic compared to solid maple.The wood is exactly the size Grizzly specifies. Search the Internet for comparable maple tops of this size and you'll see what a terrific bargain this one is. It's well made, very strong, the edges are slightly rounded, and the top and sides are sanded and finished. Of course, it's very heavy, so you'll need help to move it around.I ordered it on a Saturday and the driver pulled up to the house the following Wednesday. I helped him carry it into the garage. It's a very impressive product, especially for the money.
