I have made 5 or 6 benches with solid core doors, I find them very flat, very 
stable and very cost effective (around $40.00 per door).  They are also 
available in 32" and 36" widths, perfect for me.  With a white formica top, 
hardwood trim around the edge and 2x4 frame with a lower shelf I can build 
one of these in 4 hours and have less than $150.00 in parts. I also have put 
good quality locking casters on some of my benches, makes them very handy.
By the way I use a let off rack to rough in my settings and then, of course, 
finish with the action in the piano.  
Whatever floats your boat!
