POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES!!!! I ordered a 36" X 72" Constitution Reloading Bench with some additional options worth over $2,000 in November 2021 and never received it or a refund. It was constant excuses of being behind due to material backorders, downsizing of the business, COVID, supposedly being shipped in a number of weeks and then order cancelation in July 2022 and a refund to be sent out that was never received and no response from the owner John Zirpola

Please do not buy from this criminal. I ordered a bench 2 years ago. Cancelled my order after I paid. 2 years later, no refund. Went silent. Next time I am in South Carolina I will stop into the shop to see what I can do. Don’t make the mistake I made and give him a penny.

I ordered a workbench from these guys and got it about 5 years ago. I did a custom order. I talked to the owner himself and told him what I was looking for and he helped me walk through the custom build. I was sent pictures during the build to make sure it was just as I wanted it, and communication was wonderful. I've been using the bench for 5 years for reloading, gunsmithing, gun cleaning and multiple other uses with no problems at all. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. I don't know how I got through without it.

Purchased a custom workbench here, using it for vintage motorcycle engine restoration. After 3 years use, not a single issue, holding up fantastic. Can't say enough about the craftsmanship on this workbench. Money well spent!

I placed my order in January 2022. John was glad to take my money but I never received my bench. Ship date came and went. I have not been able to contact him since. I was taken by a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Beware!

I also ordered a beautiful bench, suffered endless delays, was promised a refund, waited..... and still waiting.... I am afraid that I put my trust in a man that promised and gave his word. I lost over $2,000 and not a penny returned. He seems to have disappeared as well along with my money and my trust. He is now out of business leaving many with losses like mine. This should be a zero star rating.

This website and its info is a fraud.The owner and CEO "honorable" Mr. John Zirpola invoiced me for reloading workbench $3,246.00 and $174.95 for my name to be engraved on its face on February 16, 2022. After his long complaints of the economy downturn, shortage of the supplies and the inflation devastating his production, Mr. Zirpola informed me that my order has to be cancelled and I will be refunded full amount on November 15, 2022 - after 9 month of waiting. Since then, "honorable" Mr. Zirpola turned silent, stop answering his business phone calls and e-mails, disappearing completely from the face of the earth. However, his website is still on appearing as fully operational and taking orders. To protect future customers, I will be reporting Mr.Zirpola business - America Reload's a subsidy of American Workbench, LLC, to the BBB for fraudulent wire charges and tax evasion practices.

I ordered a custom reloading bench for my now x husband last December. At first the order was delayed due to Covid was the story I got. My husband and I were getting divorced in April and I still had no bench. I have asked for John to cancel my order and refund my money and he has gone silent and has not responded, not offered a different piece of furniture in leu of and has not refunded my money. Do not buy from this company!!!!! John is a crook.

Sent me an email canceling order stating the company was closing for a number of issues and I would receive a refund on November 15th. I'm charging back my payment and reporting the company to the appropriate authorities for wire fraud and income tax evasion. The website is still up and apparently still taking orders.

This guy ripped me off on the bench I ordered from Ebay in Nov of 2021 as a Christmas Present. I also ordered some upgrades. I have asked him to cancel and refund my money and he has yet to do so. I have had silence from him. DON"T USE!!! I GIVE 0 Stars but google makes you choose at least one.

Sturdy, classic, beautiful, and versatile: The Plantation has served as my kitchen counter in three different homes, and that has made all the difference in keeping my sanity while cooking. As well, the workbench height was customized to 34", making all food preparation so much more comfortable, because I'm short.
