The height really depends on your height. I'm 5"10" and my bench is 100cms high which is a comfortable working height to stand at. An 8'x4' sheet of 18/24mm ply is a handy size to work to if you have the space.

Put it on wheels.

I've got a fixed bench and a bench on wheels that I can have next to it or move into the middle of the room if I need to get around it. And I have my ultimat mountcutter on another trolley - same height. and my underpinner - same height, and my morso on a dolley that I can move around too.
