[modeleng] Work Benches

For many years I have used solid wood benches in my workshop but they are 
showing signs of fairly serious wear and tear. i.e. splintering and oiliness. 
This is not too much of a problem with steam locomotives but I am rekindling my 
interest in model aircraft and they need a cleaner environment.
I am contemplating replacing the old benches with "Kitchen Worktops" as 
supplied by the likes of B&Q. These appear to be plenty rigid enough (38mm 
chipboard) and have a hard, plastic surface which is durable, non absorbent, 
and easy to clean. Only one thing worries me slightly - I don't know anybody 
who has tried it. 
What about you guys?
