Yea, I'm considering getting a stand too, but I honestly think I need to find a nice stool to plan the entire workbench around lol. My bench will be around 61" wide and 30" deep, which is much deeper than it needs to be, it'll offer me lots of bench top storage. I might even build a "hutch" style top to add some shelves too. Need to figure out where I'll be mounting my digital scale though, I know it needs to be mounted on a different surface than the work bench so its more stable, but I don't want it too close to the wall that its hard to see the display. I've currently got it sitting on the countertop in my laundry room, but its a few inches from the wall and kind of a pain to work with.
