What tabletop should I choose for a computer table?

I am going to make myself a computer table with high strength, because I plan to stand on it and put shelves and sometimes work with tools. This raises the question which tabletop to choose. In general, I like solid wood, but to make a tabletop myself is hardly possible: I do not have a plier or long screw clamps. I do not want to take a ready-made furniture board made of pine, it is crooked and easily bent. Thought about using plywood about 20mm? Then the question is whether it needs to sand, how and what to paint? I want a perfectly smooth surface. Maybe someone can give me some advice.
