Nice!
My eighteen year old daughter keeps talking about moving out of the house. Although I woud be sad to see her leave, I can't get "Big Reloading Room" out of my mind!
This is what I'm working with now, a 4' long space in the laundry room, between the wall and the deep freeze.

Looks like you fit your equipment to the space available. Nicely done.
Suggest getting another rug or maybe one of those hard plastic things they sell at office supply stored to protect the rug under the bench, and especially under the press. Otherwise it will look like h*ll in a couple of years - indoor carpeting doesn't hold up well to oil, spent primer grit, and chairs with skinny legs.
Oh . . . you need LOTS more components - it's still too easy to close your closet door!

I pity your poverty. My loading bench looked like that when I was a pauper in college. Now, I have a 12'-24' shop in the backyard just for the loading equipment, a desk in the computer room and another in the garage for working on/cleaning guns. Better luck in the future! Also, it is obvious your'e not loading/shooting enough. The benches are far too well organized and clean !!!!
I just thought of something...
I wonder if carpeting would ever be a problem with static?
A static shock from a finger prolly wouldn't do anything to powder (I think), but what if you zapped a primer?
Like I said, I don't really know.
I've always been relegated to the basement or garage so concrete is always under my feet.
Anyone know for sure?

Yes, it can be a problem, especially with black powder-hence the brass construction of most blackpowder tools. I'm not sure about primers. You could always wear a static "leash" similar to those used by computer assemblers.
Jeepers,beautiful work, but it strikes me that the room needs a colorful ceiling mobile to accompany the fan. Perhaps one made with shiny dangling dummy rounds?

Kinda makes my old wooden TV tray look down right Getto.
Man! You sure do things first class, Jeeper. Very nice. Of course nothing can match your previous "bench", that was a work of art.
I like the fan, BTW. Nothing wrong with a little color. One thing I am wondering about though are the shelves near the window. If your brass bins get as heavy as mine, that looks like a whole lot of weight on those shelves. Do you think it will ever be a problem?

Just don't shuffle accross the carpet in your wool socks while stroking the cat.....
If you are keeping the carpet, maybe dust it with that anti-stat spray every so often. And/or use those anti-stat wrist straps us computer hardware geeks use
Mr. Wise N. Heimer comments aside, it is a great-looking bench. And i do like the "crayola" ceiling fan. Adds a splash of color
