Work Benches are a type of crafting station required to craft many essential early-game items. They are also one possible way to fulfill a house's flat surface item requirement. Bottles, Pink Vases, and Mugs can be placed on it and used as a Placed Bottle for crafting potions. The Work Bench is the first crafting station the player can make in the game, and one of the first items overall.

There are 34 / 26 types of Work Benches which can be crafted, and 7 types which must be picked up from areas such as the Dungeon. Some Work Benches can also be found in Underground Cabins, in which they follow the theme of the cabin they are found in.
