Anyone use this stand ? Curious how sturdy it actually is

Thanks

Hmm. It doesn't "look" very steady. The Lee portable stand[3 legs] looks better.
Just an idea.

Looks like an ironing board

I do not use a bench, I use stands. The stands I use look like stands for grinders.

It probably works okay. I have something similar with a smaller base. I have to put my feet on it to hold it down.

Just get one of those Black and Decker folding work mate goodies (if they still make them?). They work great.

If you have the room (and can figure out press mounting with respect to the drawers) this thing works really well:

Just about any reasonably solid stand/bench will work if you can brace it to a wall. I realize many won't want to do this though.

That bench will work! Good price also. Damn sits better than the first one shown.

I still to this day regret getting rid of mine - what a boneheaded decision that was :-(

Place it against a wall and attach it with a couple angle brackets and screws.
Ideally, the screws should land into studs behind the drywall instead of just drywall anchors.

Yes, I have a couple of them. I have an RCBS Rock Chucker mounted on one and a Forster Co-Ax on the other, and these stands are plenty sturdy enough for them.

I have had mine for 43 years, still works like a champ for most anything that I need, including a reloading bench.

I have one and it works for what it is. The black paint on the legs peels/chips easily though.

Get a rear axle and wheel from a wrecking yard, if you need the weight, get a drum with it. Reloaders should be handy, a handy reloader should not have trouble attaching the press to the top of the axel; be creative.

Forgive, I forgot about Red Green: If you are ugly it helps to be handy.
