Based on this, the conclusion is some very long, 900mm deep solid canteliver ESD workbenches without anything underneath so that there are no obstructions for seating (stools), and build custom shelving on top for our equipment, parts bins, lighting etc

Some of the best value cantilever benches appear to be:
