The invention provides a work bench comprising a frame foldable between an in-use position and a closed position, a table surface connected to the frame, said table surface including at least two members, at least one of said members movably coupled with said frame for enabling clamping of a workpiece between said members. The frame has two sides, left and right, which are connected to each other via a latchable bar and one or more fixed crossbars. Each of the two sides of the frame includes a bracket assembly supporting the table surface, a rear leg pivotally connected to the bracket assembly and a front leg pivotally connected to the bracket assembly. Each side also includes a bracket strut, one end of which is pivotally connected to the bracket assembly, wherein the bracket strut is connected closer to one end of the bracket assembly than both the rear leg and the front leg are, a rear strut, one end of which is pivotally connected to the rear leg, and a front strut, one end of which is pivotally connected to the front leg. The bracket strut, rear strut and front strut of each side of the frame are pivotally connected to each other at a respective main joint, and both main joints are joined to the releasable crossbar, such that when the work bench is in the in-use position the latchable bar is latched to a component of the frame at a latched position and is releasable in order to allow both main joints to fall due to gravity.
