Thanks man, lots of hard work and many years without lead to it. I worked on it nights after 12s for a couple weeks to finish it up.

43" to the top of bench has worked out very well for me standing and from the swivel chair.
Bench is rock solid with a hundred 50cal ammo cans worth of weight on shelves underneath.
Yes, that is a old Forrester with much use, still my favorite press.
Sidenote: Don't you guys ever lock up your guns?
Not that I don't ever have a gun lying around the garage or in my workshop, because I'm cleaning it or guns-smithing or whatever, but I don't leave them lying around all the time, and definitely not more than one or two...
My house is locked, I have multiple layers of security, they are in a locked portion of the house, and the safe is locked, the metal M16 rack is locked. The only guns that aren't secured are the ones hanging on the wall---a non-functioning Mauser, the rimfires, and a couple ARs. Other than that my CCW gun, my spouse's, and my home defense rifle.
My safes are just too full. I need to purchase another, but I plan on constructing a vault when I move.

There are two safes not shown in my small reloading room, I have another room where the Dillon and other
dedicated presses are mounted along with the dedicated trimmers, tumblers, bulk brass/bullet storage.
The rifles leaning against wall at end of bench have bolts removed and are secured in safe.
OP, I would suggest picking a bench height that is most comfortable for you for non-press work. Then you can use things like the Strong Mount from Dillon or the mounts from Inline Fabrication to bring your presses to a height where you can run them comfortably. At least, that has worked out well for me.
