No sweat
I really like your bench. I was going to make big drawers in mine like you did but never got around to it. I will definately use them on my next bench. You are right that formica is just as good as melamine. They are basically the same thing except that melamine is coated on both sides which is irrelevant for a bench. You did a nice job. I need to buy a few more presses to catch up to you though.
