The height should be adjusted for whatever is comfortable for you to work on...and in mind with what things you will be doing most on that bench...... 2x4s, corner butted and screwed make better legs than do 4x4s Width dimensions are controlled bty the space the bench is going in but should not be larger than you will use for something other than 'storage'. :-) Depth should be at least 19 inches and as deep as you will use . If the bench is going to set on a wall depth isn't all that important but if you are gonna have this thing movable depth is extremely important....... just some thoughts.... Jim Bryant (FL)
