A couple of years ago Home Depot had a metal 24" x 40" work bench for about $100 (I am not sure if it is still offered or not). The "workbench" had 3 drawers on one side, 2 drawers on the other side. I put 4 3" locking castors on it (to get it up to the height I wanted) and a piece of 3/4" particle poard 30" x 54" glued and bolted (recessed the heads of the bolts into the particle board) to the top. I topped that with a piece of sheetrock. The unit is not light, but it moves easily. My workshop is 1/2 of a 10' x 16' shed (the other half is for the riding mower, snow thrower, etc. It is a little tight, but very workable for up to 60 size planes (the planes are hung from the rafters in the shed).
