Time to Complete: 10 hours
Total Cost: $43 plus wood stain
Finishing Details:
I used the dining benches as an entryway bench and I am really happy with the way it turned out. The only difference from the plans is that I mitered the corners of the seating area. For the finish I used a Varathane weathered gray and dark walnut mixture that I made, which was a little heavier on the gray. I did several coats of this until it had the look I was going for and then did a couple coats of matte poly.

Super excited because I built this myself and it turned out so beautifully! SO happy! I used the plans at WoodworkPlans.info to build mine – I highly recommend you visit that website and check their plans out too. They are detailed and super easy to read and understand unlike several others I found online. The amount of plans there is mind-boggling… there’s like 16,000 plans or something like that for tons of different projects. Definitely enough to keep me busy with projects for many more years to come haha ???
