Medium quality as expected but good enough.
I needed this for a one off non critical use , previously i had bought two Draper trestles , which are identical in design but over twice the price, The Drapers use thicker metal and went together easily , I am happy enough with these unbranded copies considering i shall use perhaps twice, however some of holes were slightly unaligned so i had to drill the metal ( took no time at all ) , one nut was missing , and a few of the washers did not fit the bolts. Used bigger washers to spread the load when tightening certain bolts because otherwise the metal underneath would bend, makes me more confident in the trestles. Takes about 20 minutes to assemble. Verdict ... get these for limited and occasional use , get the Draper version if you need better quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

DO NOT USE AS WORKING PLATFORMS
Someone said they're a nightmare to assemble but they are dead easy actually. As long as you have a small battery screwdriver along with a 10mm nut adapter they should take no longer than 15 mins to put together.......! That said...... Once you assemble them, you will be disappointed that the finished product doesn't match the pictures and description. The concept is brilliant but they need to manufacture them from a much sturdier grade of steel and also make the height adjuster a quick release system instead of having to get spanners and screwdrivers out agin to spend 10 mins adjust both sides of each bench just to raise the height bar. There is NO WAY IN HELL that I would rely on these for safe working access platforms. I used 3 of them to span 12 ft with 2 x scaffold battens to lay the last 3 courses of bricks. One collapsed and actually bent in half! They state 200kg load capacity, I would say more like 50kg MAX safe load and use ONLY if on very flat, level, solid ground. In fairness to the seller I was refunded 50% of the cost and now use them for very very light work such as a saw horse etc but would never use them again as working platforms and I certainly wouldnt ever extend them past the minimum 800mm height. In summary these benches are just not up to the standard that we UK Tradesmen would accept. Shame because if they were made from better material and a couple of tweaks here n there would make them a best seller!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

An adequate pair of trestles requiring much thought to assemble.
The plan sheet was utterly useless. It was a bad photo-copy. There were no instructions. I managed to assemble the trestles in spite of the lack of guidance. Life could have been so much easier if some care had been taken.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Simple and effective...
I'm using these for a large, long running DIY project. They are sturdy and fit for purpose. As mentioned by others the instructions are a little vague, but common sense and using the pictures on here means the task is simple. Do NOT overtighten the screws when assembling, otherwise you will not be able to extend the trestles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Trestles very handy.
Bit of a pain to assemble but worth the effort! Lightweight and strong they are easy to use. Great for taking sheets out onto the drive and ripping to size.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Light weight
I would not put 200 kg on this thing it has no locking pegs to stop legs folding out or the vertical so could just fold up on you these should be pulled of the market under health and safety . They are not sturdy enough to put work onto . I recommend spend more money and buy something better , I can't even put light work on them because they wobble too muchVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very lightweight
These trestles are very flimsy - when the package arrived I didn't think there were two in there as it was so small. The old saying "you pay for what you get" certainly applies. Some of the pre-fitted bolts don't extend far enough into the nuts!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Cheap and poor quality
Cheap and not the best quality. I had to do some work to get things to fit, and looking at the quality of welding would not like to put too much weight on them. Some parts had rust on them. All in all - poor to be honest.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Disappointed
Well you get what you pay for. There is nothing heavy duty about these and I wouldn’t use them in a professional environment. They are ok for cutting wood but I wouldn’t place boards on them and stand on them even though they state up to 400kgVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
