I used an oak fire door for my top. It is oak veneer and filled with a gypsum type fireproofing making it solid. Can pound on it all day long. I attach the whole bench to the wall studs so I can really pull on it with a pipe wrench when something is mounted in the vise.

Any door supplier will have plenty of leftover damaged doors. The beauty is that the door knob hole is a perfect place to run your power cords for the mounted power strips. I use 1x3 oak strips for edging at the front to hide the hinge mortises.
