We're having a house built and I get the bonus room. It will have laminate flooring for ease of clean up. I've used a small modified table for years and now I can have a proper bench. I'm trying to decide if I want to sit or stand and what height for either style. I'm not going for a pretty bench but I will build a strong, stable, user friendly bench. I've heard old oak desks are good for reloading. Any input will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
