Nick, my Computer Science degree focused on Virtual Reality and computer animation... I'm not exactly "new" to 3D modeling:

Anyway, the design would use like 1/16" thick 1" mild steel tube, so I'd be able to weld it as easily as possible. The table tops would be high-density laminated particle board.

I've been thinking about sleeving the main frame at the mid-point so the whole thing can be broken into two parts for transportation. But, I'm not sure it's necessary. With the table tops off (they'd be removable) and the seat removed, it's only 6'x2'x18"... not all that big. However, it will be heavy... hence the wheels to allow you to roll it around. But the weight is what makes it stable. I want this thing to be rock solid... the whole reason I'm building it is because I hate having a rolling desk chair and wobbly table for the wheel.
