I bought the 6 foot husky bench from home depot. Its about 350 all in and it has adjustable legs. Its absolutely solid and I plan on buying a second to mount another press.
In what you will spend on lumber and time you can have an aesthetically pleasing table that will last forever. And if you dent up the nice maple top you can always replace it.
Having a heavy and secure bench is as valuable as a good press IMO
I've seen those Huskey benches.. and they are quite nice.
I came out on top for the cost on the bench I made. The lumber used was from work, sitting on my front porch for the last 2 years. I milled it on the planer and it came up great. I did have to buy the Birch plywood for the top and the shelving mounted above the bench. I have the bench lagged to the wall studs as well.

Looks great. Maybe you should have made it longer so there’s room for expansion when you inevitably buy more guns![]()
