Building a storage bench - global village style

This versatile storage bench is a practical addition to any room. Its sleek, classic look blends well with all styles of decor.

Measuring 60" wide and 18" high, this bench is easy to build, ultra-practical, and looks great! It consists of a box made from 3/4" MDF, into which dividers are inserted. The top is made from a board slightly larger than the box itself. The bottom edges are covered with crown moulding. No special skills are required to build this bench. A regular hammer and finishing nails can be used instead of an automatic nailer if you wish.

The detailed plan of this storage bench can be yours for free. It includes a list of the materials and tools required for building a bare casing, as well as cutting planes and a list of the different pieces to cut. Assembly drawings illustrate the steps to follow in order to complete your project. For reading and printing this document, you will need Acrobat Reader.
