A few years ago, I was living in an apartment after a divorce. I used the space in the bathroom where the washer/dryer hookup was. I used a B&D Workmate with a single stage press on the left side. When not in use, I just shut the closet door in it.
And...... when you get distracted, for whatever reasons, and make a goof up in your reloading process, you can then say "Everything went in the crapper last night!"
Only concern i would have if is someone would always need in to interupt you while you were working..and also holes you would put in the countertop if mounting press to it.
One can secure a reloading press to a counter using "C" clamps. It might be a good idea to use a piece of Masonite or thin plywood under the base of the press and over the top of the counter, as one does not want to mark up the countertop.

I had my press mounted on a 2x6 and would wedge the board in the drawer of an end table in the living room. It held my RockChucker press at a slight backward tilt, which made access to the cartridge that much easier, as the end table was a little lower than a workbench would have been.
When I didn't do it that way and mounted the board on top, I used a bunch of newspaper pages or a towel to protect the finish of the table.
The press was mounted on the board and the bolts were countersunk, of course.
