There is no room to use it in the shop. I use it to cut larger items down to size, so they can fit into the shop.
There is a painted piece of plywood attached to the top....sheds water very nicely. I can easily remove that as needed.

When it was brand new.

While in use last year, when I needed plywood for the back of a Pantry cupboard Project. When I was done, that blue tub was placed back on top of the saw bench.
Have sanded down rusty items on it, have painted cleaned up items on it...stood on it to change the light bulb in the back porch light.
Never added a finish....never will...
