My desk is an old 1960s-era Teacher's desk, purchased for $10 from a 
school that was updating.  Very similar to this one: 
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/439804719839252490/ although my center 
drawer lacks handles.  Solid yellow pine throughout; sturdier than 
anything on the market today, I think.

For a workbench, I have two of these dining room tables from the local 
(now defunct) This End Up scratch-and-dent store: 
https://thisendup.com/Classic-Medium-Solid-Wood-DRT/  The tops are 
several inches thick.  Solid wood, I think yellow pine again.  Buying 
them with cosmetic flaws saved me a bundle; I think I got them for under 
a hundred each.  But it's been a few decades.

Pretty sure you could park a truck on any of these.
