suggestions on a pre-made reloading bench

[encoreguy]

Anyone have a suggestion on a pre-made reloading bench? I would make it myself, but were it is going in the house it must look nicer than I probably have time to build. I found a Kennedy for sale at $239 and it looks ok.

Stack-On makes a very good bench. It is actually a work bench but I now have 4 of them in the Reloading house. Easy to put together, has a top shelf of which you can put your lighting and use as a shelf, two drawers, one 1/2 shelf, and one full shelf at 4" above floor. Retails for 199.99

The Kennedy is decent for the money. The drawers kind'a suck but it's pretty solid.

Sears Craftsman benches are good looking and stable. A solid piece of kitchen counter top would work to make a nice sized work area if used over top of 2 of them. And you'd have an opening to put your legs in so you can sit up close.

I have 2 Craftsman benches, one with a tall back and light and one that's just a plain old bench. They both have 3 drawers, and work great. Seems like the plain bench was about $100.00, the back with light was another $50.00 or so. Good stuff.

I have had to bolt some benches to the wall to get them to hold still when I am sizing bottle neck cases.

Now I have a Forster Co-ax press, and the handle forces needed are small. I use a table in the middle of the room now.

Bench on the right is solid oak and has nice lined drawers. I bought it at Harbor Freight for $150 and it's worth it.

These are all benches not specifically designed with reloading in mind. I sell plans,$7.50 emailed to you) for a bench designed for reloading* that will look just as good as any of these; see my ad in Shotgun News under Reloading Equipment For Sale.

*Especially if you reload sitting down for maximum comfort.

There is an ad in the back of Handloader magazine for a reloading bench/cabinet that looks like a pc. of furniture.

Thanks for the replies. I know that a florescent light can affect the electronic scale / load combo's. Does anyone know how far they need to be away from the light to not be affected?
