Bench Requirements (based on conversations with lots of people!)
 
* Height: Standard workstation/stool height (~840mm) rather than desk/chair height - allows working standing or sitting on stools
 
* Height: Standard workstation/stool height (~840mm) rather than desk/chair height - allows working standing or sitting on stools
 
* Depth: Standard electronics workstation depth of ~900mm to allow for equipment at the back whilst still giving decent workspace
