A workbench is a heavy, solid table you work at with your hands and tools — in a garage, a workshop, a factory, a school woodwork room. Strength is the point: it has to take hammering, sawing, and clamping without moving, so it is usually thick wood or metal, often with a vice fixed to one edge, and sometimes drawers or a rack for tools underneath. That is what separates it from an ordinary desk or table.
