Each page that shows product prices has a blue tab on the right margin marked "Formica™ Premium Laminate Colors," which brings up a display showing standard and optional laminate colors. We prefer Formica and LisStat laminates, the finest brands in the world. We also have access to every other brand of laminate.

BenchPro™, our manufacturer, has the capacity to make virtually any product from wood and steel. Chrome, brass, and zinc plating are also available. Longer, wider, and taller—those are the easy requests. Check Series K first. It comes in 28 standard sizes. You can order any bench to be made at any height at no additional cost.

Need longer? Because longer means weaker, we recommend either the Roosevelt series, which can be made in any length, or the Harding series, which has a much stronger frame. Multiple benches should be used for lengths greater than 10' feet.
Need wider? Series K offers our widest benches, with sizes up to 60" wide. See the Kennedy Series.
We do not charge extra for cutting down a standard bench size. Example: You need 71" to fit in a space. We charge you for a 72", and cut it down for free.

After you select the benches and options, your Bench Depot customer service assistant will produce a quote that includes a freight charge. It will be the lowest-priced quote received from up to three of our certified carriers.

The freight quote is based on the size, weight, and freight classification of the shipment and reflects the maximum discounts available to a shipper of our size. We do not make a profit on freight.

Sometimes a customer will receive an even lower cost quote from their carrier and request that we use their carrier. We are happy to use another carrier, but there are some complications:

1. We usually receive the freight invoice, but in this case, they will bill you as the customer.
2. There are a number of carriers we cannot certify, as they have shown an inability to handle our products without damage. These include UPS and FedEx Freight.
3. We take care of any carrier problems, including transit damage, which almost never happens when using our certified carriers. If you ask us to use your carrier, you will be responsible for resolving any problems, as they are your carrier.

1. We Use LisStat™ ESD Laminates: They both use a design that controls the static dissipation rate to meet all ANSI/BIFMA and Federal GSA standards. These laminates carry the static charge across a layer of carbon, which is buried just below the surface color layer.
   LisStat™ exclusive Armored Protection reduces surface particulate shedding to one-tenth that of conventional laminates and provides long-term resistance to surface abrasion while extending the life of the laminate by maintaining its surface texture.
   Some of our competitors still use brands of ESD laminate that are made conductive by dipping conventional laminate sheets into a chemical bath and then drying the sheet.
   These sheets come from the laminate dipper with a label that, to paraphrase it, reads: "Do not clean with any products containing water, ammonia, chlorine, or soap." We have replaced hundreds of competitors tops that have lost their ESD properties over time, even though they followed all the manufacturer's instructions.
2. We use ESD laminate on the top and all four edges. As surprising as it sounds, most other companies either use a non-dissipative rubber strip or nonconductive laminate on the edges. If you already have a competitor's ESD bench, you can spot this by checking to see if the laminate looks identical in color, thickness, and texture. If it looks different, check the surface resistivity. It won't be the same.
3. Aluminum underside: We are the only bench manufacturer to use an aluminum sheet to seal the underside of our tops and to assure conductivity. While other makers either leave the core particleboard uncovered on the bottom, paint the bottom, or apply a brown paper sheet, we use the only material that completely seals out moisture and is 100% conductive. This is important too, as this moisture is the only reason tops warp, and leaving a nonconductive bottom sheet can cause problems in sensitive work areas.
4. Multiple grounding systems: While other brands of benches tout a very special bolt used to ground the surface of the laminate to their grounding system wires, we have eliminated this bolt and the wires. Because all BenchPro™ bench tops are designed with a full 180-degree laminate radius on the front edge and because the front laminate wraps under the top of the frame, we simply placed the frame where the fastening screws go through the laminate. This directs the static charge directly into the frame, which is in turn grounded by two conductors we provide for earth grounding purposes. All ESD shelves have the same grounding system.
   The two front legs have banana jacks on their front edges to accept wrist strap connectors. The back of the frame has two mounting lugs to attach the two grounding wires that are included with the system. You will find this double system in evidence on every ESD bench and accessory we make.
   BenchPro™ ESD work benches are not connected electrically to the floor. We use insulated floor glides, so static charges will pass only through the grounding system provided, and inadvertent charges on the floor cannot pass up to the work surface and operator.
