It machines very nicely, however, whe routing, the material can be very unforgiving and the sawdust, is huge (fluffy grasslike).
As far as for the bench, this bad boy is sturdy, it repaced an 8/4 oak bench, and is holding up very nicely.
The box of drawers is removable (ballast really).Probably in the neighborhood of about 300 pounds.
Would do it again.
