What is the proper height for a workbench?
38″ – 39″ (97cm – 99cm) makes a practical, tall workbench height. A tall workbench is good for detailed work, cutting joinery, and for power tool use. 34″ – 36″ (86cm – 91cm) tend to be the most common workbench height for woodworking.
What depth should a workbench be?
The depth of your workbench should, ideally, be no longer than your arm can reach across it. In most cases, that number falls around 24”. If you happen to be the type of woodworker that works with unusually large or wide pieces, then you may want to add a few inches.
