This is a great hobby. I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it.
Probably the 1st consideration is that all controls for your saw are at the blade end (close to you). Some models require you to reach to the back of the saw to set blade tension.
A solid table high enough to get the chair under but low enough to see your work. A heavy table, with the saw bolted to it, will keep the vibration down. I'd avoid an overhung table since it may vibrate too much. Better to be 4 legs but wide enough so the front legs don't interfere with your chair handles.
A good light and, if needed, a magnifier. I use an LED light from Lowe's w/o a magnifier:
