I am recently retired and enjoying DIY projects to help get organized after downsizing homes and needing to make use of every inch of space. I shopped around for one I liked but found nothing until plan. made this bench because I have access to a limited number of tools. Anyway, I made this with the following minor modifications: 1) made 1 in. taller, made depth 20 inches (replace one of the 2x6 with a 2x4) and finally, the raised the four horizontal outside 2x6s the height of the 1/4 and omitted the 1/4s. I think this gave it a cleaner look (by omitting the stacking of the 1/4 on top of that 2/4). Quick and easy, 1-"woman" project. Love having the extra storage. (This bench replaces an ugly big box full of shoes.)
