I bought the same bench from asda and also thought it was a "great buy" until I used it. The top is made of some sort of m.d.f. and has little or no grip at all and whatever you do don't sit on it like I did. One side snapped in half!!

LOL sorry didnt mean to laugh
i too took a small nick out of mine whilst using the router, yes it is a form of hard MDF however i have stood on mine and im 110 KILOS :D and its still in tact
considering the price well worth it even if you do in 12 months need to replace the wood to a more solid form, easy enough and the legs are solid. i had a b&q brand one before this one and the legs where shockingly poor flimsy metal and it cost me 5 times more

I only weigh 13 stone "HONEST"
Yeah I have replaced the tops with plywood and it's turned it into a decent little bench. I bought a black & Decker one about 35 years ago, very heavy, but I'm still using it. This one from asda has the benifit of being light as well as being a bit of a lightweight
