How To Easily Assemble Husky Adjustable Height Workbench Table 

Came here to look for tips when my metal rod wouldn't slip onto the second bolt on the second set of legs. The comments didn't disappoint! I ended up connecting the legs in the opposite order of what the instructions say to do. For anybody having issues like I did, here's what you do: attach and screw in the left leg finger tight first (the side without the crank), then connect the rod to that side. Get the right legs in position, put the crank on, and get the rod lined up. Then very slowly turn the crank a tiny bit while pushing the leg toward the metal rod or pushing the rod toward the leg, until the rod slips on the bolt inside the right leg. It's hexagonal so the sides have to match up or it won't slide on. Screw in your right legs, tighten the left, and you're all good.

I was waiting for my son to find time to come over to help assemble my 72” Husky workbench, but he’s a busy guy. So my sister and I found your video and decided to give it a go ourselves. (She’s 69 & I’m 70). We did it 💪🏼 ! Thank you for all your tips. They sure helped clarify thr written directions.

Thank you to all who posted tips on how to install the rod. I was going nuts trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, my dog was looking at me like “my person as lost her mind”. 😀

Excellent instructional video. Thank you.

This is the best look at this table on the internet imo. Great work!

Great video. Thanks for showing how it comes packaged and that it's not assembled. This way I know I can transport it and then assemble it myself.

Thank you for this video!!!! You helped me so much with the draw installation.

I used finished assembling the workbench and your instructions were spot on. Thank you very much. I did notice the turn handle now has a set screw in it to keep it from falling off the rod.

I've got two of these 52'" and 46" in & out feed for my DEWALT table saw also use as a project tables. I love these tables. Able to move every where in my shop and out side on the driveway with my Tsaw

I knew that I could find an assembly video. Thank you!! I have two 72” tables coming next week. Thank you for all the tips!!

Thank you for this quick and simple video!!

Thanks for this video. I just ordered the 52”. This will help tremendously with assembling

Just got mine thanks to your video, thank you!

you did a great job explaining, thx-

Great video!! You helped make the assembly a breeze! Just ordered my second bench and watched your video to refresh myself!!

Great video man! Thanks for your time

You’re a total lifesaver with this video!! Thanks so much!

Very helpful video!

Hey Brett, thanks for posting this. I got my bench tonight but there were no instructions. I had it built in 30 minutes, thanks to you. The ball-bearing tip was priceless! Thanks again!!

Great instructions. Fast and efficient explanations with good quality video. Thank you.

Excellent, thank you!

Came here because i use this work bench as my computer desk (and I just moved) and I lost the instructions on how to put it together, this videos been a life saver thank you man

Appreciate you doing the video. I am a bit more confident assembling my 46" version now.

thanks for sharing... was very helpful

Best tutorial of this great job

Thanks for this video. Picking this up today.

Thanks for the great video and tips putting the 62" and 72" together!

I’m glad it helped!

Thank you for the info. I just put it together and will back up and make the necessary corrections.

Doing these directions backwards so I can disassemble this thing. good video!

Dope, thanks for the reference, this helps BIGTIME

Thank you very much for this video!!

Thank you for your help!

EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS - THANK U SO MUCH! DIDN'T NEED TO LOOK AT THE MANUAL. MADE IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR ME - APPRECIATE IT!

Great video thanks

Thank you so much. This is very helpful.

Great help. I will buy one!

You saved me on this. Couldn’t get the top rail to line up because the instructions said NOT to turn the lift. Thanks so much!

On the assembly of the table center rod. To make the center rod assembly easier, take the crank and insert it in its mating part. Turn the crank counter-clockwise and apply some force to break free the pin in the leg. Turn the crank clockwise to bring the leg back down. Take a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench and break free the pin in the other leg. Then insert the center rod in the leg without the crank assembly. Use some of the packing material under the center rod to help stabilize it and line it up with the pin in the crank assembly. You may need to turn the crank slightly to get the rod to go into the pin. With the pins freed up, the pins turn easily. Use a phillips screwdriver when installing the screws and do not tighten the screws completely down to allow for some movement of the parts. Some of the holes have paint in them. More pressure will be needed to clean the paint out.

Thanks! Great video that was a it help with assembly.

Great video! Thank you! :)

Thanks bro.

Goodjob👊

In my view Husky is a premium product. You have an excellent instructional video on the assembly of this 62 inch worktable. I have added this one to two other worktables I have which were delivered to me already assembled. When I saw the product delivered in a box, it was not a pleasant surprise. I spent quite a long length of time unpacking the top and all the parts. Then I looked at several video until I found your par excellence presentation. It is the most carefully, and clear explanation of how to assemble the worktable. The only thing I needed my husband to help with was turing the table upright after putting it together. Being a retired educator I have a critical eye when watching instructions for any kind of assembly. Husky needs to hire you to make their videos and pay you top dollar. Thank you so very much.

Oh my gosh, thank you! We had the whole thing assembled except the trim piece, and couldn’t figure out what it was for!

man i wish you were my son so handy

Better than Ikea hahaha

thanks g built this for mum

Thank you, the video was better than the directions.

I watched a few videos on putting this table together and yours is by far the best. Thanks so much for all your tips, especially the one to crank the table up when installing the cover over the rod. I had no problems putting it together after watching your video. Thanks ❤

This video made assembly a breeze! One major PITA I had was getting that support bar that goes into the the legs screwed in. I had one bolt hole that would just NOT thread. I had to get a longer bolt with the same diameter, and use an impact driver to push it in. Totally annoying but got it to work. The rest of it was pretty straight forward. Thanks again!

Hi Brett, thanks for the video. I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I will need it to raise and lower with about 50ish pounds on the top. Do you think the crank/gear system is capable? How's yours working? Would you buy it again? I realize this is a fairly old video, so if you don't answer, I understand. Once again, thanks.

this is super helpful. so if i want to convert those drawers for use in a music studio, it would be pretty easy to just put the sliderr brackets onto bits of wood and not install the decorative front bracket. how deep is the lower drawer?

I’m thinking of buying this for the top only & putting it on my own previous foundations for the desk, any tips? From what I have seen that top is very sturdy & strong real wood

You're lucky your legs factory screw holes lined up with the predrilled holes in the table top.... took me an extra few hours to bend the crap without having to redrill the metal holes. I was also given the wrong number of machine screws and bolts. The predrilled taps threads are awful.... the leveling feet on mine weren't too level because some were tapped crooked during manufacturing.... I must have gotten a bad one... but seriously to get a 150lb box... something I needed to rent a truck to pick up, and doesn't assemble right is really annoying.

Very helpful video. My issue is I can't get the crank to rotate. I inserted the rod and attached the right leg, but couldn't adjust the height to install the top rail. So I disassembled thinking something was hung up, but discovered I can't turn the crank on the right leg at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not bad at all. Me and my wife put it together in 30 minute. Made a heavy duty Lego table out of it.

@bones714 Looking at buying either this or the one minus the drawers. One question: Since you used the wheels, when they are locked, is the bench stable, or is there some wiggle? I don't plan on moving it, but having that option is good if i need to move it. But stability is important to me. Thanks.

I would like to place the side with the Husky faceplate on the backside of the table. Would there be an issue with placing the cranking mechanism on the opposite side?

So unless I did something wrong the brace that you put to connect the legs is short, I’m just using it as a desk so I don’t know if I really need it

I use this desk for my pc. I recently put a treadmill under the desk, if i remove the lower bar do you think the desk is durable enough to not need the lower bar?

I bought husky’s 72”x24” adjustable height work bench and everything looked high quality until I almost had it fully assembled. The three long metal support beams (1 for the front side, at the top, right underneath the wooden table surface, and two for the back, with one of the two at the top, underneath the table surface, again, and the other one close to the bottom. The one at the bottom is only connected / screwed on each leg of the back side of the table.) ALL three of them ( the aforementioned support beams) are slightly bent/bowed and for that reason, they can’t be screwed to the underside of the table since they do not align properly. Anyone know what i should do? Should i try to bend them so that they align? I think they are too strong for that to be feasible. Should I talk to home depot which is where I bought the work bench? Or should I just return it? Maybe if I call Husky themselves and explain the situation they will send me the replacement metal beams? That would be ideal as I don’t feel like disassembling it, finding a way to fit it in the original packaging and then shipping it to them only to then reassemble the new one they would send me. What do you guys think? Any advice is greatly appreciated. If you need pictures or you don’t know what I mean by the three “support beams”, email me on Hamoudi.200@hotmail.com

I have the unit upright and only the crank side is raising and the other does not move. Am I going to have to disassemble all the drawer hardware to get back to that rod to be sure it is snapped into the other leg set?

I'm assembling this right now. The rod does not line when I try to insert it into the 2nd leg like you show at 2:20 One of the things inside the leg needs to be turned so it inserts, but I can't turn the crank. Just called the # they give in the manual and he was completely useless.

Think the box will fit in the back of a car thru the trunk with back seats down?

Do you get keys to lock the doors

do the drawers lock?

How's the leg clearance when sitting with the drawers there?

So my dad and I just finished assembling this and the crank will not work. Anyone else come across this?

ey, what standing desk is the one in the background?

How in God's name did you the pole to go in to the 2nd leg so easily. I envy you, this desk is bringing to the brink. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Unfortunately, I was unable to get the bar to snap into place. It seemed it wouldn't even fit onto the screw on one side. I called customer service to see if something was wrong. I thought that I had made it work, but when I sat it upright and turned the crank, on one side was raised and I heard the bar moving inside the housing. Hahaha...so ummm, that didn't work.*😀

Thank you so much for this video. Just finished building my desk with no manual and your video!
