Use code EASY12 to get 12% off (over £150) but if you're ordering larger numbers then it's worth giving them a call, as they can often offer a much better deal.

I got 40% off an order worth just over £400.

Yeh, I had a poke at those in Homebase and wasn't impressed.
I suspect that some "home assembly is required" and they hadn't been put together very well, but even the components were cheap-n-nasty.

Sealey do three difference ranges of module workshop systems, not cheap but far better value for money

Can sometimes work out cheaper to buy through an outlet like Machine Mart

I've got the homebase one. It's very sturdy and strong. And almost no home assembly is required. It weighs a huge amount (needs four people to lift). I like it. I also have the unit without the top bit. Recommended.

Yes, I have that one. It is heavy, but not 750kg! I could lift one end by myself (just!). So I'm guessing around 250 to 300kg total.
