in my workshop/garage i have a workbench 18' long, 3' deep and about 3' high (tall enough for me to work on something without hunching over). one end has some drawers under it and the rest is open for storage of bigger items like a shop-vac and generator, etc. i have shelves and cabinets hung on the walls above the bench, but they start about 16" above the benchtop. that way i have the entire top surface to spread things out on, plus i have storage within easy reach. one note about storing stuff under the bench. my dad put in a bench similar to mine and started with shelves under it. it was a big pain in the arse to reach stuff at the back of the shelves. you were always bending over or getting on your knee to reach stuff, plus it was dark. after that we only went with drawers under the bench or open storage for large items.

i also do some woodworking and made openings in the benchtop for a router and planer. the router just drops down out of sight and the planer lifts out and a piece of plywood fits in the space to cover the hole to make it level with the benchtop. having the area underneath open makes it easier to clean the mess up from wood chips.
