Seconding this big time. Our old driver station was very wide, with handles on the very ends. I'm 6'1", and I was uncomfortable carrying it. It was made of 80/20, so we ended up cutting down the long bars of it, and brought it down to maybe three feet wide, or a little under, and now it's fine, if a little heavy.
I once played with the idea of getting a sheet metal shop to cut and bend a single sheet of aluminum into a drive station, but never made concrete designs for it. Maybe I'll CAD it up now that I have some free time.
