Looking good-
Matty's suggestion for a melamine top is a good call.
For my bench top, I went two layers of 3/4" plywood with a layer of hardboard (unperforated pegboard material) held in place with contact cement. The hardboard can be replaced is it gets damaged/stained, the double plywood allows you to break out a mallet and go Thor on stuff.

Rolling partition and storage unit.
That is cool. I've been thinking about building something like that for clothes and gear.
Pearl is turning out to be legit. However, however much did Mandi help with this?

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
Mandi fed me dinner both days before i worked on this, so you could say she fueled the fire in me to build
I EVEN MEASURED EVERYTHING MYSELF!
Looks like he already did...
I fixed it for you.

Right now, I have bikes and parts scattered all over the house. Some bikes live in the basement... misc parts and old frames in the attic... two bikes and most tools are in the living room. It's a royal mess and I can never find anything. 
I'm in the process of renovating my house and one project will be to carve out a better work area in my living room for the most ridden bikes and tools. I'll probably get a 48" steel, 2-drawer work bench from Lowes Depot in lieu of building one - mainly for space reasons. I've learned too much flat surface just collects crap.
