While there, look around for a sheet of laminate to make yourself a surface
as cool as IKEA - albeit with a little more work. But Sanding the surface
and finishing with varathane or similar should suit you fine.

Laminate as workbench surface is not really the best thing, as it
tends to be slippery, making the use of hold downs difficult; a thing
I learned the hard way by using a leftover of kitchen counter top for
my workbench, which has only front legs and at the back is screwed to
the wall (this ensures also that my wife is able to count every beat I
inflict on my work...)
