A household workbench assembly (1) that utilizes dry dimensional lumber, plywood, metal, and plastic to provide a versatile, rugged workbench, requiring minimal assembly time and having a pleasing cosmetic outer appearance. The versatility and simplicity of the workbench design comes from the unique primary metal leg design (2) that allows rapid attachment of all components (3-8). The leg (2) is constructed as a load bearing metal structural frame with a front to back length equal to the product of the average width of a specific type of dry dimensional lumber (7) times an integer number of pieces. Holes (12) located along the top surface of the metal leg and spaced appropriately provide for attachment of dry dimensional lumber and prevent the lumber from warping or splitting. Brace attachment holes (13) pre-drilled symmetrically about the vertical axis of the leg (2) and along the sides of each vertical member provide for attachment of all lateral and drawer support braces (3,4,5). There are two lateral support braces: one long lateral brace (3), which sets the width between a pair of legs (2) to a standard plywood width of 48 inches, and a short lateral brace (4), which sets the width for a standard plastic injection-molded drawer (6). With the use of a standard metal leg (2) and three types of braces (3,4,5) and commercially available dry dimensional lumber (7), also called "framing" lumber, workbench configurations of no drawers and no shelves, just plywood shelves (8), just drawers (6), or a combination of drawers and shelves can be readily configured with minimal time.
