[Test-Equipment] Looking for test bench ideas

[Gary Fiber]

I don't think after looking at the web site IKEA still sells them, but I 
use an Attitude Kitchen Cabinet. It's heavy, uses the NUMERÄR counter 
top, does have plastic doors.
I made a double decker test gear shelf for the top out of 2 x 4's and 
plywood for it. A little small but works for me. I put a Wiremold plug 
strip under the bottom shelf of the test gear shelf

Yes no leg room but I deal with that ok and it has storage under it. I 
use a small wood stool I put a foam and fabric cover on to sit at the bencg.
