I was thinking of this as well but putting casters on it.
I will second that. I use the draws for tools and measurement devices. The bottom shelf was supposed to be for material, but it accumulated things BEFORE Kòptis 
arrived. He is busy at this moment consuming Home Depot Basswood Plywood.

Not a budge. Although I did have to pull it out from the wall a bit to use the pass through to use 12x24 non-ProofGrade 
material.

I got this cart on Amazon back when it was $160.

It’s very sturdy and easy to assemble/move about. I’m planning on arranging some sort of storage underneath, but we move a lot (we work in theater) so I wanted something more mobile than a large shelving unit.
As regards the harbor freight bench, yup, what everyone else says. It is rock solid. I don’t use it for my glowforge, but it is steadier than what I do use. I have no issues with what I use. As for the useless vice, I hang a plastic garbage bag from it, so it is not completely without a purpose. The drawers are a little cheap. I’m not sure I’d trust them with the weight of glowforge materials. Also, the slides are cheap. Overall though I’m very satisfied with it.

OK, I pulled the trigger on the Harbor Freight one, thanks to @jbmanning5’s heads-up on the coupon code. (If you use it, it only works with one of the three model numbers that appear when you search for “60 in. 4 Drawer Hardwood Workbench” on the HF site.)
Although I already bought a table a long time ago, I’ve gotten far too attached having it around for other purposes. Plus, I decided it was a little too high to put the Forge on.
Thanks all!

While I agree they may not appear to be the most robust build, this is a pic of whats in just one of tge drawers. The pipe wrenches alone weigh
15lbs. My bench is 4+ yrs old and the drawers show no sign of failure.
I wouldn’t be concerned about storing in there.

Though to be honest the drawers dont open particularly far. I often find my self wishing the slides extended further. Getting full sheets of 
in and out may be a challenge. Maybe not.
That looks like a nice table! Would probably be handy to have a little
space next to the GF to place small tools, tape et al. Seems like the group
here is leaning towards the HF table… I wish there was some feedback from
a user of this one! Nice that it comes on casters. Thanks for all the
replies!
Hi There, I do not have my unit yet, thank for that valuable insight! The
things you don’t know until it’s in your hands…
Thanks for the great suggestion! 
Oh, awesome! Casters would be a definite plus in my space situation. Thanks
for the link!
I strongly agree. While I personally don’t find the GF very noisy, others have. Putting this on a metal table would only amplify the noise and I’ve never seen a table on casters that’s rock solid.
Thanks, great to know! I had not accounted for vibrations. My machine is on
it’s way. Will look for a solid table, most likely that HF table everyone
is psyched about!
I just put all of my materials in the drawer…a few at a time, in or out, no problemo. Just so you know…

I don’t think anyone has mentioned this table from ikea
It’s quite solid. This is what my Glowforge is on and I’m very happy. I havent yet but I may add some casters similar to ths ones I posted above. It’ll take some drilling and using different bolts than the ones supplied but should be easy.
They’re definitely overkill but not sure if there are similar light weight options.
(Not going to knock anyones taste but I went with the solid white option 
)

That’s one of the options that I’ve been considering for when I get my pro. Good to hear that it’s solid - I was a bit worried that it would be flimsy.
Would someone who has their glowforge on a HF workbench please post a quick pick? The HF workbench isn’t very deep, although lots of room on both sides for clutter, and for people considering using it with their glowforge they may want to see how much, if any, overhang there is. Worst case they wind up with a rock solid workbench at a very reasonable price, but…
I’m glad you mentioned that! I just realized I only have space for a 4’ table. Fortunately, I was able to cancel the order. Bummer.
