I use this for experiments, is basically a glass top garden table, put some cardboard on it, very strong it seems:

Outside works too:

Even older table for experiments, is upstairs now, was a present in the nineties:

As to scope, my Trio 10 MHz analog does all I need.
even analog TV:

I use RTL_SDR USB sticks and down conversion for the gigglehertz stuff with my own spectrum analyzer;
