The last worl bench I had I built out of 2x4's with a 3/4" plywood top covered by a sheet of masonite, mounted with countersunk screws. worked great, and it fit my space and requirements better than anything I could have bought.

Here's mine. Has 1/2 in steel top that is 4' x 8'. Whole thing weighs about 1200 lbs. It has casters to enable movement and leveling jack screws to make it stay where you want it.

I don't work for Sears nor do I really like them, (although I have about 10,000.00 worth of Craftsman tools) but they have come out with some really cool modular systems. I think I may do mine in those.

My main bench is two Craftsman ball-bearing service carts with the casters removed, screwed to a 1" maple top over 3/4" plywood, with another similar top screwed to a Craftsman bench/storage unit.

Take a peek in construction dumpsters - or better yet dumpsters at remodeling sites. I got a couple of solid core doors (smooth - no panels) and just built "bases" for them. At 6'5" each door, I have one bench at 13' with two doors end to end. Then even utilized the hinges still on one of them to have an "extra" fold away bench top for those times when the others are too full of other goodies. Becuase it folds away I keep it clean otherwise all th eparts and tools would slide off and fall on the floor :lol:

Here are pics, my 13' section (two 6.5' doors end to end) and one of my folding benchtop before I attached the legs - they are leaning against the wall in thepic:
