Great for a kitchen or breakfast nook!
Needing extra storage and seating in your kitchen or breakfast nook? See how I built this multipurpose bench...
– 2×4 calculated length, width, and height – ¼ MDF board for sides – ¾ MDF board calculated for sitting area – Piano hinges – 4 Casters (optional) – 3” construction screws – Wood glue
Cut 2×4’s to desired size for length, height, and depth using miter saw.
step 1
Build bottom frame by joining length boards to depth boards using 3” construction screws.
step 2
Attach vertical supports to bottom frame by using Kreg pocket hole jig.
step 3
Build top frame in same manner as bottom frame.
step 4
Connect top frame to vertical supports using Kreg pocket hole jig. We messed up, and put casters on too soon as pictured . It is best to do the casters later.
step 5
Once you have cut ¼ MDF board to proper dimensions for face board, side boards, and back board, attach MDF to frame with wood glue and clamps.
