18-Gauge grade 304 stainless steel top with a number 4 brushed finish. Over solid particleboard for strength. 
 
Note: BenchPro™ is primarily known for our high quality benches which assemble easily and carry extreme loads. This Roosevelt Series bench is our economy model. We designed it to be the strongest and easiest to assemble of the current economy market offerings. 
 
Even though many companies use this design bench successfully in their production areas, we want to advise the differences. It has left to right steel reinforcing underneath the top and has been tested to hold over 1,600 pounds when the weight is evenly distributed. Even so, it will show minor downward deflection in the the center, especially when loaded heavily. 
 
This bench design, whether made by us or another manufacturer, takes about half an hour to assemble, compared to less than 2 minutes for our other series benches.
