Default Material for workbench top

I have a 15 year old particle board workbench. The top is worn and I
would like to put some type of material over the top so that I have a
smoother surface. Any Suggestions? If so, what material should I have
cut to specs and what's the best way to place it (thickness)? Nail it
in? Sand top, apply adhesive, press new top on?


I keep thinking about getting hold of a broken chest freezer, purely for
the metal panels that I could use from the lid and front to use as tops
for the workbench. Just one of those jobs that I haven't got around to
yet :-)
