    Yeah, if this the shop where the finished goods are made and sold you'll want lots of display things - counters (which you have) but also dummies for displaying armor, chairs and chests for draping things on, etc. If this is the tanner, however, then you'll want some drying racks outside as well as big ole vats and some firepits.

    So did this progress any further?

    I read that shoemakers (a specialized leather worker) would straddle a long work bench with the piece that they were working on in front of them ... but leatherworking tends to be simple repetitive tasks that a craftsmen can do without thinking about it. So a shoemaker had lots of time to sit and talk about anything interesting while he worked. As a result, men often gathered in a shoemaker's shop just to talk about ideas.
    ... I suggest that the shop include a workbench for the leatherworker, a chair for a guest and a stove or fireplace to make things comfortable

    Since prior to the modern age glass is expensive, I suggest that the entire front wall of the shop opens up like a pair of doors so the leatherworker can drag his workbench right to the edge of the street and be part of the street life while he works. That will also provide the needed sunlight and show your goods to the world.
