Funny answers :-). Worried about how a workbench looks? One of the reasons to build out of SYP is so you don’t care if it gets dented and stained, it’s a workbench, not fine furniture.

I built a bench about 30 years ago with an apron and about 4” of overhang….been cussing it almost from day one, both the apron and the overhang are a PITA when trying to clamp and work boards with hand tools. My new bench is a Roubo, no apron, no overhang. Different work styles require different methods of work holding, if you are a galoot or plan on being one, lose the overhang.
