People doing electronics cover their tables with medium-high resistivity material mats (high enough so it doesn't interfere with bare electronics, but not completely dielectric). The mats are grounded to Earth ground via 1 megaohm resistor.

From personal experience, static discharge against such material is a lot less painful than touching grounded metal objects.
