Holding the work · review
A €217 Bosch workbench with a wooden top, a metal frame, and not one published dimension, weight or capacity.
The end of it Difficult to recommend, not because of the bench but because of the listing. There is nothing here to judge.
Every figure is a manufacturer specification, read off the listing itself, and the judgments are ours — drawn from how the specification behaves in this class of machine and from what long-term owners consistently report. Where a figure is missing, we say so rather than fill it in.
A Bosch workbench, PWB 600, green, with a wood top and a metal frame. That is the entire listing. No EAN, no part number, no dimensions, no working height, no load rating, no clamping capacity, no weight, no feature list.
A bench is judged on one thing: whether the workpiece stays where you put it while you apply force to it. Mass resists the force, a flat top gives you a reference, and the vice or clamping system does the gripping. Everything else — storage, wheels, folding — is convenience, and convenience is nearly always bought by giving up one of the first three.
That trade is the whole choice in this category. A listing that publishes a weight and a clamping capacity is telling you more than one that publishes a color.
Applied here, the test cannot be run. We do not know the clamping capacity, we do not know the working height, and we do not know what the bench weighs. Those are the three things that decide whether it holds work.
Without a barcode we could not check the French, Italian, Spanish, British or American stores. The reference we hold is German and it is the only one that resolves. That is the honest limit of what this page can tell you, and it is the same limit that applies to the Bosch sander earlier in this group.
Look at it in a shop, measure the top and the height, open the vice, and decide in person. €217 is a plausible price for a wood-topped bench with a metal frame and it might well be a good one. Nothing on the listing lets us say so, and we are not going to say it anyway.

The listing consists of a brand, a model name, a color and two materials. There is no feature list, no barcode and no part number. We have no way to add to it without inventing, and inventing is the one thing this site will not do.
We cannot tell you. Without an EAN there is no way to look the product up on the French, Italian, Spanish, British or American stores, so we cannot confirm it is sold there. The reference we hold resolves on one market.
Working height, top dimensions, clamping capacity and load rating, at minimum. Those four numbers decide whether the bench suits your height, your work and your workshop. This one gives none of them.
