The Beech range of benches is sold as a component system. These benches can can be fitted with storage modules, from a four drawer set to a single open cupboard you'll be sure to find a use for the array of cupboards provided in the module. When the cupbords are fitted, then not only do you gain their storage,  but you also gain an additional shelf on top of the cabinets just below the worktop allowing storage of tools regularly needed during a job without having to put them away all the time or having them clutter up the work surface. However If you don't want storage under the bench, then simply leave it as an opened framed bench!
The benches are supplied as a flat pack ready for immediate assembly, and are excellently engineered. Each bench sports two vices (shown right) both of which have huge capacity no matter what the basic size of the bench.
Accessories for the benches include the afore mentioned storage, 'hold-fast' clamps illustrated in the top two pictures and 'dog stops' for boards and oversized clamping or for use as end stops.

Our most popular bench from the range is the Sjoberg Duo bench, illustrated above.  This bench features a European beech top and trestle, oiled for durability, and may be purchased as a bench and trestle (support) only, or as a package complete with a stylish and robust built-in storage module, as illustrated.

The Nordic Plus bench range offers economy with a high standard of construction and materials.  These benches can also be fitted with the optional 0042 storage module which provides a cupboard with sliding doors and four drawers with profiled handle cutouts in the front.  Two rows of dog holes are provided in line with each of the four possible vice positions: the benches can be assemled to suit left- or right-handed use.

Both Duo and Nordic Plus benches can be fitted with additional equipment and storage modules, as listed below.

For the dedicated craftsman, professional or amateur, the Sjoberg Elite models prove themselves worthy of the name.  With solid beech worktops 85 mm thick, these are benches designed to take real punishment!  As if that were not enough, the bench aprons are a full 110 mm thick giving greatest stregth along the bench edges where the need is greatest.  The benches can be assembled for left- or right-handed orientation with both a front vice and an end vice (optionally with two end vices).  As with the benches shown above, these fine products are also available with built-in storage featuring hinged doors and drawers with robust steel handles.

To ensure that the Elite benches meet every reasonable need of the skilled craftsman, a range of matching accessories is available.  The dogs and holdfasts are equally usable on the bench top or in the holes in the legs of the trestle, whilst the anvil ensures that the bench top is not damaged when more "robust" working practices are called for.  The full-length rubber vice jaw protectors allow pre-finished and restoration pieces to be held without fear of damage.
