Rolling Cubby Bench

Assemble the top, bottom, sides, and two dividers into a three-cubby box with 2" nails and glue. Keep it square so the trim lands evenly.

Fasten the horizontal trim pieces with top and outside edges flush, using glue and 2" nails. Nail the top trim into the dividers, sides, and top together — this ties the joints and lets the bench carry weight.

Fasten the vertical trim with outside edges flush, centering the middle pieces on the dividers, and also nail through the ends into the horizontal trim above and below. This is what makes the three cubbies read cleanly.

Fasten the wheel supports under the box where the casters mount so the wheels have solid backing, then screw on the four casters. Fill nail holes, sand, and finish with a durable topcoat — this bench gets used hard.
