If I want a half bench but can't find one, could I buy this and only put together half of it? Or would this one look odd? Or have sharp edges/ sides?

Would there be a wall or something supporting the ends? If not, I doubt it would be able to support itself freestanding.

Both. It wouldn't look right and would have sharp edges. It's made with small slat like wood and wouldn't be sturdy enough.

the outer edge is smooth, so presume you could stack them side-by-side. However, i'm not sure they will look like one piece of furniture - i think it will look like 2. I do not think it would look bad, just not one piece.

They have M&D construction set on Amazon you can buy for less than $20. It isn't exactly the same as the pieces that come with the work bench but would probably work just as well.

Yes, Just know the bench is a little wobbly. You'll need to buy new screws at Home Depot or Lowe's.

The benches (I ordered two...30" and 17") did not come with such instructions, all situations are unique anyway. We drew up what we needed and installed 2x6's between the studies as needed. working fine

The frame has slats that have legs in the middle of each one. When I put mine together it was easy, and didn't splinter at all. The holes in the slats and side pieces were pre-drilled. It's a beautiful piece and worth the money.

There's a little half inch foot on each corner. I'm thinking it could be replaced with something a bit taller and handle the stress. I'm no carpenter, but I'd give it a go!

I used only 4 shelves from the two units I bought and made 1 bench from the upper leftover shelves. If I had tried to make 2 tables they would've been very wobbly, in my opinion. The legs really should be anchored in the holes of another shelf to be sturdy enough to hold 40 pounds.

You can assemble these any way you want - although there may not be enough parts to have two "cubes" with full backs. One should check the number of squares included. We made a rabbit cage with ours.

I didn't see a matching bench. I don't believe you can buy extra chairs as this was delivered as a set.

Hello, I have the benches for about 2 years now and lots of people have been using it. They are very versatile, solid and comfortable. You always can put some cushions on top of it.Thomas

In the picture, it looks the same. Without actually seeing and touching it, there is no way to tell. I'd get it and look at the quality of the welded joints before you assemble it. If they look sloppy, send it back. This isn't a gym-quality piece of equipment and I'd limit its use to those under 6' tall and less than 225 lbs.

Best bet is to call the company. I purchased this set and People love it. The configuration with the bench works perfectly with the other furniture in the room

Yes - I have it arranged the opposite way. A day or so before you setup, do a full inspection of all of the pieces - it will be time consuming, but will give you time to request replacements. Two of the very large pieces on mine were cracked (one is on the top surface). It really takes away from the value of this desk, but not much you can do once in the heat of putting the monster together. It would be very difficult to take apart to replace, if you waited for them to send a replacement.

The holes may not line up perfectly but we did get it together. It's not a high quality piece but once we did get it together, I loved it. It is sturdy and once its together it's fine. Have someone who is fairly strong and decent with assembly help you. If it doesnt come together the way you like, simply return it.

Have to agree with the other 2 responses. You might want to hire a handy-man or get someone to help you put it together.

I'm sorry that I can't help you. The bench didn't quite fit the area for which it was bought -- vanity area (it was too high.) So, I returned it.
