After reading several reviews regarding cracking and leftover flashing on some orders, I was hesitant to purchase these. Decided to go ahead and give it a shot anyway.
The flashing from the mold process was there in a few spots, but nothing that the 2x4 pieces didn't easily push through. All the hardware is there to make the sawhorses and the directions were pretty straight forward. I especially like the little plastic feet that come with the set. They keep the 2x4 ends off the ground and that is a nice touch.
All in all, the 2x4's slid into the brackets with ease and total build time for two sawhorses was about 30-45 minutes. That includes dragging out the miter saw, cutting the lumber, and screwing all the pieces into the brackets.
If there is some left over flashing, just take your time and push through it. Glad I decided to go forward with these brackets. They make for some very sturdy and solid sawhorses.

Good by me
I was very satisfied with the final product and only encountered minor difficulties during construction, however, I must admit that I learned from the mistakes of others and would like to share some summarized knowledge with you. First, there was some criticism that standard 2x4 lumber does not fit the brackets. If you download the assembly instructions for the product from 2x4 basics.com, the manufacturer provides the exact dimensions of the needed lumber to the millimeter; simply taking a 6-inch ruler with a metric scale to the lumber yard will allow one to determine if the 2x4s are a non-standard cut (stud grade 2x4s @ Lowes worked just fine for me). Second, there was also some criticism that the brackets break during assembly. With some concern that this might occur, I left the impact driver on the shelf, drilled pilots for all holes, and used a drill with a torque restrictor to drive the screws (not sure of the N.m value, but a setting of 10 / 17 on my Dewalt 18 V drill worked just fine). My final sawhorses were remarkable symmetrical - placing both sawhorses side by side on a level surface centered the bead on my 4 ft level. I have used them now for several weeks for cutting plywood and 2 x lumber with a circular saw and found the horses to be very stable. As an added benefit, I now have 36" sawhorses that fit my 6'2" body and don't have to break my back using the commercially available 29 inchers. My only criticism is with the provided hardware, which in my humble opinion, is not very good. The 1" pan screws were ok, but I stripped the 3" wood screws before I could drive an inch and used my own 3" wood screws with a T25 star drive (worked great). As such, I would recommend that the manufacturer either provide higher quality hardware or decrease the price and have the consumer buy hardware of their choosing.

I used 1 pair of the 2x4 Basics Sawhorse brackets during construction of a stand for a free standing jigsaw made by my father-in-law. Thanks to the 2x4Basics Sawhorse brackets, the stand is very solid and does not walk across the floor during operation of the jigsaw. The flat orientation of the upper and lower 2x4s was a plus, allowing for easy bolting of the jigsaw to the upper 2x4 and easy bolting of a storage shelf to the lower 2x4. See photo. Because this product comes with 4 brackets (2 pairs of two) a son-in-law who also has one of these jigsaws will be getting 2 brackets so he can easily make a good solid stand, too. I am certain this product would also make a great set of sawhorses. Use quality 2x4s for a solid easy assembly.

Very excited to get these for my shop. It's a great concept and has much potential. However, no where did I read in instructions I would need to plane these 2x4s to fit. I used standard lumber from home depot, added some red stain the wouldn't really add any thickness to the boards. I had to pound each 2x4 in using a runner mallet. Took me about 5 mins to pound each leg in. Crazy. I measured the opening for the 2x4 and it's just under 3 1/2" even after I trimmed all the excess plastic off. Cant squeeze a 3 1/2" 2x4 into a hole smaller than 3 1/2 opening. Broke everyone of the brackets. Sooo disappointed. I mean 1/16th inch bigger opening and these would be flawless. Or at least warn me to plane the boards or run them over a table saw. I bought 6 of these and these and already stained all the boards. Now I gott shave em and reapply stain.

Brackets are not big enough for standard 2x4
