The longest thing on my bench is a Fluke 8840A at about 38cm with a tight fit to the wall in back with the front hanging over the edge of the shelf a bit. The longest gear I have is probably my 1956 Tek 531 scope but it sets on a cart and is almost 70cm. My more modern scopes with LCD screens are shallow of course.
Unlike some, my lab space is really modest and the bench is just some kitchen countertop with a back splash setting on file cabinets. A raised shelf along the back. During the pandemic when I was WFH, I did all my board level testing on the last project there.
