But I put together a place that makes the most of the available space (for carpentry, metal fab and work on my weekend car) with an assortment of second-hand industrial cabinets that I turned into storage and ten different work surfaces. I did all the work myself, including setting the tile and digging the pit for the lift. Everything in the place is second-hand, re-purposed or home-made.
Work benches that fold down from the wall:
You can see the lift in operation in this video:

Is it always this clean? No. Not by a long shot.
But it does go back to clean very quickly -- that's the real accomplishment of it, I think. I finally took the time to work out a place for everything to go when It's not being used.
In practice, it makes a huge difference not having to spend so much time looking for things you've misplaced. I spent years doing that.
More pictures and a bench-by-bench look at the place at the website I made for it:

Saw this in Car Craft. WOW is right!
