I even had a handy helper by my side! Isn't he great??
Staining time...
The original plan for the hall tree was to have two shelves and a piece of wood that was painted black that went behind the coat hooks.
The coat hooks just stood out more without the board behind it. I decided to paint, stain, and polyurethane everything before assembling it. Wouldn't you know it that some of my measurements were off. It wouldn't be one of my projects without running in to a few mistakes.
The back has 3 braces that allow the 2x6's to be held together.
I wish I would have taken more pictures along the way, but you probably get the idea of how it went together. I used a Kregg jig for the screw holes on the bench seat and the cubbies.
The metal brackets and coat hook were purchased at Hobby Lobby.
Not that great of lighting but maybe I'll receive a picture of it once it's in its new home.
These are a little better
