Sjobergs Workbenches
Sjobergs Workbenches
You are going to have a lot of tools in your workshop, but quite possibly the most important and overlooked "tool" is your workbench. From a quality, value, and functionality standpoint, Sjobergs is simply unmatched for hobbyists and serious professional woodworkers alike. There is no other workbench on the market that compares to a Sjobergs.
Sjobergs is the market leader for woodworking benches and has been doing it for over 100 years. All Sjobergs workbenches are handmade in their in-house factory in Sweden where an impeccable focus is placed on creating unmatched quality, durability, and functionality. If it tells you anything about the quality and attention to detail, it takes about three months to make a Sjobergs workbench and come with a 10 year warranty.

When doing intricate work, the worst thing you can do is work on an unstable work surface. Don't even get us started on worksurfaces that "bounce". With a Sjobergs, you are getting a heavy duty work surface that is completely stable. While most American workbenches are made with maple or oak, Sjobergs workbenches are made with FSC-certified Nordic birch or beech wood that is treated with the highest class of oil. These are much more stiff and stable types of wood that are better suited to withstand heavy use over the years.
Sjobergs workbenches have essential features that will allow you to work efficiently. The large worksurfaces have endless dog holes along the top of the workbench as well as along the trestle. They also have superior metal spindle vises built right into the workbenches. With Sjobergs clamps, vises, bench dogs, and more, you can take on the widest range of projects with confidence knowing you have the workbench tools to get the job done. You have everything you need as a serious woodworker.
Below you can find our selection of Sjobergs workbenches and accessories specifically tailored to woodworkers - both hobbyists and serious professionals. All workbenches come with the option to add a convenient storage cabinet module and various accessories kits including clamps, jaw cushions, and steel anvils.

Why buy a Sjobergs when I could build my own bench?
If you are a skilled woodworker, you might be wondering why you would spend all this money on a Sjobergs. Well, the thing is, you certainly could make your own, and many of our customers do. But here are just a few reasons why you may want to consider buying a Sjobergs instead:
- Quality - Sjobergs uses a heavy-duty handcrafted Nordic birch or beech wood in their workbenches chosen specifically to last years to come. Sjobergs has been doing this for over 100 years so they have intricately designed their workbenches for long-term functioning.
- Value - If you tried to purchase birch or beech wood on your own, you will be paying way more than the cost of these workbenches. That is because Sjobergs purchases their wood in large bulk quantities.
- Functionality - Sjobergs workbenches were built with immaculate attention to detail and their accessories were custom-made for their benches. It would be close to impossible to match the functionality with a custom-made bench.
- Time - You can set up a Sjobergs Workbench in less than an hour giving you your valuable time back to focus on the projects you are more passionate about.
Ultimately, many customers have no more interest in making their own workbench than they do their own tools. Your workbench is a critical part of your workshop and cutting corners on cost here in the short term could be a costly mistake in the long-run. A Sjobergs Workbench will increase the functionality of your workspace and allow you to focus your time and energy on woodworking projects that you enjoy.
