If you have the space, you could do what I do, and bolt multiple folding tables together with 'L'- and 'T'-shaped flat metal brackets. The idea, besides adding surface area, is to dampen the tables' tendency to wobble. This adds a surprising amount of stability and load-bearing capacity. It completely eliminates the need to add a center leg, which is otherwise pretty much mandatory when using folding tables.
I did this too; used 2x4 for legs and frames, 2 glued layers of particle board for top, 4'x8'. Use lots of construction adhesive. For top shelving, I got the put-together 18 in. deep storage shelving. Somehow I always wind up working on the last 2-5 inches of the table anyway :-) I bought rolling plastic drawer assemblies at Staples that just fit under the top battens for storage. Remember Latham's law of horizontal surfaces (ahem)--any horizontal surface immediately becomes covered up with crud! Store parts in oversized tackle-type partitioned boxes, they stack, and you can bring the needed one to the top. Tons of little drawers suck, IMHO.
