My arrangement certainly isn't furniture, but a couple of notes not mentioned by the others.
I put casters on my bench so rear access is just a push away. I also included extensions at the bottom rear of the legs so I could push the bench "against the wall" with no danger of crushing the AC cords. I also use a "master" which in addition to reducing fire hazard, is great for allowing you to just hit the switch and walk away from a test setup, then return later and pick up where you left off.
