I just ordered one of the Youbo benches. About time someone came up with a better idea.
I've bought many tools from Lee Valley You can see some of the best by putting AFD in the search box.

Nice bench...big bucks.
After watching the video, I considered the stuff that I do on my workbench. As a DIY homeowner, using my workbench for everything from sweating copper pipe to rewiring a coffee maker to bending plexiglass to fixing a pair of glasses, a standard horizontal work bench is a much better fit. I do a little woodworking (built the kid's bunk beds, the fish tank stand, a bunch of iPad stands, knife holders, etc.) but not enough or the right type to warrant something like that.
I guess it qualifies as a "better idea" but for a limited number of tasks. However, if those are the tasks that you do all the time then it makes sense to purchase one. I hope you enjoy it.
