GRIDMANN Stainless Steel Kitchen Prep Table 36 x 24 Inches with Backsplash & Under Shelf, NSF Commercial Work Table for Restaurant and Home

I did research for a few months trying to figure out how I was going to add some extra counter space to my modestly sized New York apartment's kitchen. After looking at every single option (..literally, everything), I decided to stick to my guns and go for a Stainless Prep Table. After looking around for something that was a) affordable, b) the correct height (My counters are 36 inches, and a lot of these tables are 34 inches tall), I settled on this Table. Let me say, I am not sure about all the reviewers whose units had broken off nuts, just seems like poor quality control, and possibly some returns being re-sold. I will definitely acknowledge that there were some minor imperfections on the table, though none serious enough to warrant me taking a photo of (1 inch, pretty shallow scratch in one spot, and a 1-2mm wide dent in another). This is something that is noted in the Listing here, but before buying on Amazon I went to the MFG's website, and found that they (GRIDMANN) posted the same disclaimer on their site as well, meaning that any issues with the product are to be expected (within an acceptable limit) as these are meant to be used in commercial applications. I was VERY happy with this table. Assembly was very simple, and to give it a whirl I hopped up and sat on the table-top after I finished putting it together, and it felt rock solid (6'1", 170). With the adjustable legs the counter surface is about 35 1/2 in. high (plus a 1.5 in. cutting board on top of that for most prep. feels great), it feels level when I am chopping or slicing food, and as a prep area and workstation for my Sous Vide tub/Instant Pot its super convenient (and the stainless doesn't need to be as worried about as a solid wood top). Shipping was fast, product didn't look to banged up, YMMV but you might luck out like I and many others did :)

Our basement has had water problems over the years, but last year two severe storms resulted in extensive flooding. As part of rebuilding the basement we aimed towards using materials and fixtures that could handle water more effectively. To the end we demo'd our laundry folding area and replaced a set of kitchen cabinets and countertops that had served as our folding area, with this table (and some wire shelving to replace a pantry style cabinet. Key for us was having furniture on legs, no wood or mdf, and adjustability. I think that this unit is a good fit and the price is very reasonable in my opinion. Assembly was easy. I note that several people received units with minor cosmetic damage. The only thing I saw was a slightly bent backsplash in one corner. It's nominal and doesn't impact anything. The top and shelf pieces come wrapped in a protective film and they look perfect. I'm happy with this purchase and relieved it's something I don't have to worry about getting damaged if there is a future flood.

Nice and sturdy table. Not too difficult to assemble, and it has been holding up great. The steel top is easy to clean, which was a must for me. Buying this almost doubled my kitchen's work area, as well as giving me some much needed storage space with the lower shelf for large pots and kitchen appliances.

Table is nice and sturdy. I used the strip of packing foam to place behind the top back, between the wall and the table to keep it stable and not moving/rocking. Worked well. Table had a few minor dings from shipping. Shipping box isn't the greatest and I was available to help the UPS guy carry to my house. UPS guy dropped his end of the box going up our steps from street to house because he needed to remove his gloves. The whole point of my helping was to prevent damage. Geesh. I was able to use a block of wood and rubber mallet to pound out/straighten the minor dings. One of the shelf openings that accepts the table leg was bent (from shipping as well). I had to place a table leg in the opening and move leg from side to side to make opening more uniform to accept table leg. This wasn't hard and took a couple minutes. The assembly is easy. One of my leg screws had a stray piece of metal and would not screw in the whole way into the female section. But, there are two additional screws applied along with an L-wrench to tighten/loosen screws for legs and shelf. ... so I just used an extra screw. It's best and much easier to assemble the table and shelf sideways on the floor before flipping upright. I would recommend this table for someone who doesn't want to pay $1,000+. It's good quality, sturdy and pretty nice for the price. Just keep in mind potential shipping damage. If you can live with that possibility and the table not being perfect, then go for it. My wife uses it for soap manufacturing and it is graded for food prep or anything that needs a official/rated stainless steel table.

The box is heavy; needed the dolly to move it. Instructions are six lines. Somewhere in the leg box I found the Allen key, but I had my own. It comes with extra screws in case you lose one. Big win. Disassembled the pieces are decently movable by one person. I used to clamp to hold up the shelf so that way I could screw it in place by myself and two levels just like my daddy taught me. The people in charge of the tooling tape should suffer all of the fates of children’s nightmares. I wish they had removed it for us. Very easy to assemble. My pavers are not 100% flat so having the adjustable feet on the legs was a real win. I have another table just like this that I’ve had outside for a long time so I’m hoping this one will survive the elements as well. The size is really great. I’ll be able to organize my garden goodies easily. Once it’s fully assembled it’s very sturdy. I really like the look of it.

Very solid and sturdy. Easy to assemble. Like a few of the other reviews there were a few scratches on the table but for my purpose that was not a problem. They are not really noticeable to me unless I make an effort to see them. If you need it to be perfect, it might be a problem. Also, like some of the other reviews, the coating that is adhered to the tabletop and shelf is somewhat time consuming to peel off, but you only have to do that once. Took me about 45 minutes.

First time I post a review. This is the second table I got from This Seller. The first one the packing was terrible, awful. The box came broken. Bought 1 year ago. but the second one bought one month ago, came perfect. Packing 10/10. Super strong. It won’t break at all. I think The Seller learned the lesson from the bad reviews. And now it’s Shipped by Amazon, it arrived in 1 day to Brooklyn, The table it’s a good product. I love it. It’s a Little bit expensive than others but I don’t mind to Pay a extra now that I saw How It’s pack. Please don’t change it to save a few bucks. Yesterday I ordered a Third one. I’ ll see how it comes.

I had contemplated getting a kitchen island for some time, but opted for this prep table. I am very happy with my purchase. The table arrive well packaged with no damage. It was easy to assemble. I love the backsplash! This comes in handy! To help make it look a little less industrial, I bought reed baskets with lids for the bottom shelf where I keep my potatoes and onions. It can scratch, so you do have to use a cutting board. I throw grocery bags up there on a regular basis, and it has been just fine. Because it is stainless steel, it can get that foggy look if you don't use a stainless steel polish or wipes after you sanitize it. My husband loves this table to roll out dumplings! We would definitely purchase this again! Update: Four years later, this is still one of the most used surfaces in my kitchen! Be careful about leaving damp items on it as they will produce rust. The structural integrity is still solid and we still love it.
