Worktop length is the bench, and it is the figure to settle first because it decides what can be laid out at once. At 1200mm a bench takes one job. At 1829mm it takes a job and the parts that came off it, which is the difference between working and constantly clearing. Depth matters alongside length, since a shallow bench forces the work to the front edge where it is least supported.
The material of the top decides what can be done on it. A hardwood top takes a hammer blow and a dropped tool without denting the work above it. A steel top takes heat and solvent and wipes clean, but marks what is put down on it and is unforgiving underfoot.
Storage under the bench is the third question. A plain bench gives the most clearance for a stool or for standing close. A bench with a drawer keeps the working tools at the point of use. A roller workstation puts a full cabinet under the top. Moveable benches sit between the two, giving storage below and the option of repositioning the bench itself.
Fold down benches solve the opposite problem entirely, giving a working surface where there is no room for a permanent one, at 600mm and 800mm with a tilt and clamp form. Modular frames and worktops let a bench be built to a bay.
