It's incredibly over built, I can really lean into it. I don't care what spills on it and a quick run with my sander takes away any bad mess. I've thought about covering it with leftover plywood from our rebuild so this thread has me intrigued, but at other times I think I'll leave it. It's got beausage to spare.

The bench has its own supports so these old base cabinets are freestanding, I can slide them out. My shop vac is behind a door between the yellow cabinets to the right.

A lot to like here and I’m going for a similar thing. There is NEVER too much counter space.
