The following may not be what you had in mind–it is more of a basement idea than what you’d want
in a study or guest bedroom. But it works for me (and I am a woodworker too).

My local lumber wholesaler sells scratched solid-core wood veneer doors for 20 bucks each. Get one.
Cut it down to size. Buy two or more plastic drawer towers (usually three drawers high) from Cosco or KMart.
Screw a 2x4 ribbon to the wall at the same height as the plastic drawer towers. Put the door on top, scratched
side down.

Now you have an extra-stout table that costs about 50 bucks–drawers and all. Put a few smaller plastic drawer towers
on top. Mount your vise and a magnifier lamp and away you go.

This also gives you the option of custom locating of a clamp vise, not being limited to the edge of the table. Figure out where you want it and cut a slot in the door to accomodate.

If you want something more permanent and have the space, consider hitting a home center and looking at the kitchen/bathroom cabinets. build a top for the cabinet and your good to go.
