 Poorly packed for the shipment to me December 21, 2008

This is the second set of these sawhorses I have bought. They're great. I have 2 homes and I now have a set at each. This is the first time I ordered them from Amazon. The packing was poorly done, the carton broke, and the accessory holders were apparently lost in transit. I learned my lesson. No more bulky items will be ordered by me from Amazon.
 Love that they're height adjustable! September 1, 2008

... I just wish it had been a little more self-evident how to adjust the height. I had a real duh moment when I was setting them up the first time, but once I figured out that you had to close them to adjust the height, it was all good.
Very good on the whole July 24, 2008

These sawhorses (2 per pack) are very stable, seem plenty durable, the top raises easily and stays firmly in place. The tool tray is useful, and there's a convenient "pull" handle to open them. However, there are two little issues that prevent me from giving this 5 stars.
First, when the top supports are extended, the extension wings are pretty flimsy. In every other way, these horses seem durable, but these wings are made of flimsy plastic and have little internal support. The result--they twist easily, bend downward with little pressure, and seem like they'd break easily. Now, if you're always laying material on them perfectly flat, you should be fine because the load will mostly be carried on the strong top member. Just don't put weight on the wings alone.
The second problem is more of a packaging issue. The package comes with two "smart v-groove attachments" that fit on the ends of the top member to support a 2x4 (either flat or on its side) or a pipe, depending on which way you attach them. See the problem? You get TWO--that's enough for ONE sawhorse. Maybe that's okay if you're using them to hold a pipe, but for a 2x4 work surface, you'd need two per horse. What's worse, Stanley apparently doesn't sell these things separately, so if you want two more, you'll have to make them yourself. This is just dumb--either give us four, or at least sell them separately! Don't know what the folks at Stanley were thinking here.
The horses came in a huge box--actually, two large boxes taped together--with a bit of packing paper tossed in. I could have gotten in the box with these sawhorses and had room to spare. They weren't damaged, but it's a laughable packing job.
 Versatile, Light, and Stable July 21, 2008

I bought these saw horse since they have the height adjustment feature. I considered making my own, but due to time constraints I needed them for a project that I am working on. I found that these saw horses are extremely stable, which I didn't expect since they are very light weight. Versatile, light, and stable sums up these saw horses. I highly recommend them. By the way, having a cross-support under the main support beam (when the main support arm is raised) allows you to put finished work (i.e., boards) on them an not take up more room in your shop. The shelfs also add this feature which makes a person who has limited floor space very happy. Finally, they fold flat for quick and easy storage.
Great sawhorse July 16, 2008

These sawhorses are very versatile. I especially like the adjustable height. Right now I put a 3'x4' sheet of 3/4" MDF on them and am using them as a temporary workbench/assembly table. They're plenty sturdy for my purposes and the lower shelf is very convenient for holding small tools while I work (hand drill, jig saw, etc).
