If you watch the big box stores you can find the laminated kitchen counter tops when they are discountinued old style or sometimes chipped. Get one of those, a 4 X 8 3/4" plywood and again if lucky two kitchen base cabinets, maybe chipped also. Glue the counter top to the plywood, trim to lenght and set on the base cabinets. Great setup, comes with storage and looks pretty nice too. Did my whole setup for less then $200, I left the plywood full width size and put it to the back then bought a couple garage cabinets for more storage Also found on sale. Only wish I would have bought the 45 degree cut tops so I could go around the corner
