I use this one, bolted to the floor and the wall. No issues except the vise sucks because it's wood, no biggie. You can get it much cheaper with a coupon.

Stiffness and weight are your friends. Lots of ways to get there.
When in doubt, overbuild.

I used a solid core door from a lumber yard. I put a good urethane finish or two on it. Big and heavy.

Interesting, I like some of the other offerings too:

If you just want to buy something with minimal labor involved - Sams has this https://www.samsclub.com/sams/height...lp_product_1_3
I have one of these in my basement gun room and I use it for firearms work. I bought an earlier model that was not height adjustable.
I built this one out of 2x6's and some scrap plywood. The top is 2x6 also with plywood on top of that. Way over built but it doesn't flex or move around.
I don't have any plans for it, just built it from an idea I had in my head. About all you need is a good chop saw, a drill, a hammer, a sander, some screws and a few nails. 2x6 is cheap. I probably have less than $100 in it.
It sits in a corner of my basement and doesn't take up a lot of room.

I built a very heavy sturdy wood workbench a couple years ago. I used 4x4s and 2x4s and 3/4 plywood. It only took an afternoon. Did I mention it’s heavy?
