I've made 3 nearly identical benches over many years for the different homes I've had. What worked perfectly for me and was large enough for most everything except maybe a Polymoog or something of that size was this..
4 x 8 sheet of 3/4 plywood on simple 2x4 posts with 2x4 beams for supports as needed. I cut a 3 foot half circle in the middle of the front for you to sit, so it sort of wraps around you and sand the edges - paint if you want but I never bothered. This frees a lot of space for side tools (soldering iron, etc), parts bins, and some smaller test equipment. For the larger, deeper units you can just span the gap and sit back a bit further. A small floor rug can be used to prevent scratching the synths cases when they are open.
