Get some cardboard boxes the same hight or close it as the bench will be and see how things work out as far drawers and stuff. You might want to make it in two 4 foot sections. Because of weight and like the other poster said for getting it in the house. My bench is 4x8 foot and had a time moving it in shop and i had took everthing out of the drawers. I had get a jack to be able to lift it high enough to get the rollers under the table it was so heavy. One more thing have the carpenter put it togeather with screws not nails. Makes it a whole lot easier to change things down the line.
