   Asennad,

   How much space do you have to work with?  Many of us work in space that is less than 200 sq. ft. and are constantly revising to grab some additional functionality.  How many and what kind of power tools are you anticipating?

   I have the standard power hand tools, small drill press, compound mitre saw, table top bandsaw. No table saw...yet. I have very limited space at the moment but someday hope to be trading up.

   Asennad, my favorite big storage cabinets which I've not built yet, are the type with storage in the doors as well as the cabinets.  The cabinets are shallower than the norm, which makes things easier to reach, and the "doors" are boxes too, hung usually on piano hinges.  Great for storage of cans, boxes of sandpaper, etc.

   Utility:  workbenches that serve as infeed/outfeed or side support for other tools.  I have to have one bench, though, that's higher than usual for comfortable stand-up work -- keeps the neck and back happy.

   I'm a fan of the French cleat style of hanging wall cabinets -- 45-degree cleats on the back, match those on the walls, and they can be moved around as the years go by and the "furniture" gets re-organized.
