IMO it would be better with a piece of plywood (in back) connecting it all together. Saw one at the HF store up here and it was pretty wobbly. Nice,but without some improvments--wouldn't hold up to much
I've had enough and I'm not alone

I built this bench for around $40 (dad had alot of the 2x4's laying around) its sturdy (I layed on it and i weigh about 225) and you could definitly customize it with drawers or whatever to suit your needs.
