Grew increasingly annoyed at the lack of counter space; being relegated to a small patch between the fridge & stove, or either of two just-as-small patches between either side of the sink & walls.  So, with the help of my buddies Rudy & Det, I built a custom bench affording me a little more space.  Not bad for ~$50.

Was that Oak or Pine wood construction 

Note: to help the wobbleys, screw screws in at a criss-cross angle on the top corners edges with #10 wood 3" or 4" long . if hardwood need to drill pilot hole first with 13/64" bit also screw heads are countersunk

Tim  looks you can Butcher a cow on that

Yes, I used 3" wood screws all-around.  The 2X4 are Pine; I believe the 4X4 are also Pine.  I just -for health reasons-specified it be untreated.  The top comes off & I have another, beefier top I can set on top for heavier woodworking or other projects.  It's so stable & level that I didn't even need to secure the top with the L brackets I bought.  Menard's has a drop saw outside in the back lumber yard where you can have your shit cut-to-length.  Always loved working with my hands & it was a great excuse to spend a few $$ & do just that.  Also nice that I can disassemble the entire thing in about 20 minutes to transport, when I move. Gonna attach a bench vise to the side for funzies.  Oh, & conveniently, there were 2 2-foot sections of 4X4 remaining, which I can use to brace the Y-axis at the top & bottom.
