1x12 Cubby Bench

Round off the top corners of the two side pieces with a jigsaw. Clamp both cut edges together and sand as one to match the curve.

Mark the sides for shelf placement, predrill, and attach the shelves to the sides with 2" screws and glue, or pocket hole screws and glue.

Attach the front and back footer boards. For the bottom piece, also fasten from the top down into the footer's top edge.

Attach the back panel with 1-1/4" finish nails and glue. Add extra fasteners at the top; clamp in place if additional support is needed while the glue dries.

Mark, place, and predrill the cubby dividers, then screw down.

Measure and mark the placement of the final top dividers, apply glue, and slide into place. Screw down through the seat for extra hold and let dry fully.

Fill any screw holes with wood filler, sand all surfaces, and apply primer and paint. Add fabric storage bins.
