My main workbench is an interior door from Lowe's. It cost around $21. I got
the one that is not drilled for door knobs. It holds a lot of heavy things.
I wouldn't hesitate putting 4-5 boatanchors on it.  You can put it on
sawhorses okay, but I have 2 nonworking small refrigerators for support. The
fridges make good storage areas too. Very sturdy and very economical. (g)

I have a monster bench out of 4x4s in the basement, but I don't do much work
down there. Maybe Hanta virus carriers are lurking around there!
