    It doesn’t matter at this point. Pick something and go with it. Don’t try to anticipate what you might do and might not do. Don’t spend too much or make it too nice. After you work off it for a while...

    How stable are those things? I’m assuming you would bolt it to the floor. You could do a 3ftx7ft top pretty easily. Maybe a little bigger. No storage space underneath though. I’ve been looking at...
