<p>Depends....</p><p>I have carpet and after being on my feet for a few hours I am glad I have it. BUT my layout does not have legs - it is bolted to the walls.</p><p>If you plan to have benchwork with legs then carpet may not be a wise choice. I would use t-bolts for adjustable leg levelers but I would still be concerned about a little "bounce." </p><p>If you are using legs then I would think about going with a laminate floor (i.e. Pergo) and then buy a good carpet to go down the aisleways. Your carpet store can provide you with a carpet with an integrated pad. Carpet by itself does not provide much comfort, you need a pad too.</p><p>-John</p><p> </p>
