I built my bench work with l-3 poplar l-girders and 1×3 cross members. I used 2×3’s for legs. Its strong and light weight. If you use this method you could also make it modular and then screw it together. This also makes it somewhat portable, should you have to move it at some point. I took the approach your considering on my first attempt and found that it was very heavy/impossible to move, thus forcing me to destroy it when I moved. Good luck.
Steve
