Farmhouse Hall Tree

Build the bench box from the ripped plywood pieces (top, bottom, dividers, end panels), following the cubby layout, using 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

Attach the bottom support rails under the bench so a sitter's weight transfers directly to the floor.

Build the face frame with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws, and attach to the bench box with 1-1/4" finish nails and glue.

Wrap the base moulding around the bottom of the bench section, mitering corners as needed.

Build the vertical back frame for the hook panel from the 1x4 sides and 1x3 rails with pocket holes, attaching it above the bench section.

Attach the top trim and top cap across the top of the hook panel frame.

Mark the shaped profile on the 1x12 hook panel side pieces and cut out with a jigsaw. Clamp the two pieces together and sand until they match exactly. Attach in place.

Attach the three back panel sections, then attach coat hooks. Sand all surfaces and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
