Elaine,

    I purchased my 8 foot butcher block "Workbench top" from Grizzly
    Industrial about 5 years ago. It's been great. They had 3, 4, 5, 6,
    8,and 10 foot blocks. On the 8 footer I have my soldering station on
    one end; work area with GRS, Foredom, etc. in the middle, and
    hydraulic press, vise, etc. on the other end. We installed some
    hanging drawers, but I can't remember where we got those. The metal
    legs can be purchased separately (on the same page in the catalog),
    which we did and they work great, also from Grizzly. www.grizzly.com
    or 1-800-523-4777. They're located in Bellingham, WA. 

    My lapidary husband has the 6 foot b-lock with his Genie grinder and
    his trim saw on it. 

    The legs are adjustable when you first put it together. A pain
    later, I'm sure. 

    We then purchased matching very adjustable drafting chairs from
    A.B.E. Office Furniture (www.abefurniture.com), a very large office
    furniture recyling store on the west coast. They have a ton of used
    and new office furniture. Seems like the whole upstairs of the
    warehouse was used office chairs and in very good shape. Amazing! 

    Hope this helps, along with any disclaimer as usual per the Orchid
    family.
