Hello all I'm looking for advice, I'm going to beef it up but there an Ikea stool the BEKVAM by them.
I'm going to use 4x4 for the legs, 2x4 for the remaining frame, and double up the top with 2x4 going 2 ways, the lower part is 2x6.
Here's a like to my sketch, let me know your advice, I'm building this literally under 30 dollars

I used a piece of 1/2" plywood on top of a bar type stool to mount two Lee presses for about $10.00.

Yours looks like it will be more stable.

That's what I was going for after a Pinterest picture haha, google 14 dollar stool reloading bench, and you will see a Lee press on one.
I'm in a basement so I need it to be more stable, and it won't be used for anything but my breech lock press and a powder measure
 
The two presses are permanently mounted on the bar stool and it is turned for use of either one.

A hand on the press for the down stroke and a foot on the lower cross bar for the up stroke, works for all the rifle and pistol cartridges I reload.

I live in an small apartment, space is at a premium.

Nice and thank you
 
I use an adjustable height shower chair, normally used for handicapped persons to shower sitting in a tub or stall.
Inherited it from a relation, but sometimes you see them at estate or garage sales etc.
 
When I lived in a small basement apartment I used a Black and Decker Workmate 300. Worked pretty well, plus I could fold it up out of the way when needed.
Yours looks like a good setup. On the moveable desk I have now (It's on casters so I can position it to clean rifles due to room size) I have a thin piece of steel that I got from a waste bin at a stamping company just to add strength under the press.
