Normally I get lost in the "build" that becomes "a project" and takes away from the end result, in this case loading. I needed a new bench when I moved to a new place in '07 and decided to shortcut the process and bought one Craftsman bench similar to these but it has two narrow drawers with the single shallow drawer.

The top is 1" mdf, I rounded the edges with a 3/4" bit, stained it dark and finished with a matte clear polyurethane. I picked up a sheet of 3/4" mdf and built divided shelves above finished to match the top. I mounted the top flush to the back so it fits against the wall and overhangs the front by 6".

The drawers have ball bearing slides and they are loaded with lead and primers and work great. I mounted a powers strip to one side for the dispenser, scale, light and cordless drill charger.
