A heavy desk will work. Even those old all steel gray ones. If it is too thick to find bolts to mount the press just use some all thread rod and cut to the length you need. Even a lighter desk should work. If you think the top might be too weak just put some wood or plywood to strengthen and reduce the flex. I find solid core doors make great bench tops. 2X4s for the legs and other parts. More or less most any desk will work if you mount the press to a piece of 2x6, 2x8 or greater wood block. Then clamp the block to the desk top. This method has been and is still being used by many people.

I tend to just grab scrap wood to make the frame for a bench and throw a solid core door on top. Bolt everything together and maybe even bolt it to the wall if needed. I look for function over looks.
