Solid core door

I have made multiple benches out of solidcore doors. Some cities have a construction reuse center where you can buy doors from a demolition. You have to fill the knob hole but that is not hard. If needed you could put a thin Masonite over the door for a replaceable top. Put 4x4's in the corners and some braces down. Shelf underneath and you are good to go. We had one growing up and would put engines on them for storage. Very strong and heavy so when the occasional heavy pounder comes out, the bench can take it.
