Hey guys
In fixing up my room and wanted to ask what is the best material for an electronics workbench.
Glass
When I started a couple of years ago all I had is a small glass table with aluminum legs. It's a computer desk left over from a previous project. Many times I've found it great for splatterings older while cleaning up because it comes off super easy. However things slide around quite a bit. It doesn't burn or catch fire easily which I think is a plus. However the biggest drawbacks are that it is small both in depth and width and is's height is for a chair with rollers that I have.
Wood
I'll have the chance of making a proper workbench out I'd extra wood I have. The biggest plus I think is that I'll be able to make it as wide and deep as I want (in order to fit many things on it at once such as laptop, multimeter, notebook, current project, lamp, Google home device and still have space for soldering). I can also make it as high as I want which would allow me to use a stool instead of a chair or at least a higher chair or ajustable height stool. On wood things will slide around less which is good for soldering since I've resorted to double sided tape many times on glass.
Metal
I just don't like the typical beige office desk because it'll just be as slippery as glass plus it'll scratch and conduct. So I don't see many benefits there. A black metal desk would make it hard to see pieces.
Any suggestions?
