Those three pictures
(http://blog.mwells.org/2012/04/joy-of-sawbenches.html) are of the
three sawbenches that I use in my shop.

When I say that sawbenches have "few design constraints," what I mean
is that basically anything 18" - 26" (?) tall can be used.  For months
I used picnic table benches.  Buckets.  Stairs.  Chairs.  Cinder
blocks.  Whatever works, as long as they  are all at the same height.

I use 3 sawbenches because they help when cutting down long boards.  I
put two of the sawbenches on the "long" side of the board and one on
the "short" side.  Furthermore, I position the bench on the short side
parallel to the board.  In that configuration, after the cut is
complete, nothing falls.
