Benchtops - where to get cheapest in Ch-Ch ?

Seem way overpriced some of places phoned, around $1600 just for
3m bench with low upstand.
Thanks

Builders merchants such as Placemakers usually sell a couple of colours as a standard item in lengths for a reasonable price, but you have to make your own upstands from the offcuts.
Custom built is a different price point altogether!

I've seen some nice onces in Bunnings recently, timber or laminated, reasonably priced too:

There's a place in Shands road Hornby end that sells them direct, cheap !

Most standard benches are flat. the upstand is what makes it expensive.

Cheers for the shands road tip Standard, will check them out but
get the feeling probably some catch - end of line etc.

Please keep the ideas coming ?

Cheers all so far, farwest you are so right.
Lot simpler if just a plain flat bench, was hoping for good price on
custom fit or can end up a right shag round.
Be into the hardware shop like a robbers dog if had upstands - shame.
