Make an entryway STORAGE BENCH

This project is made out of pine (other than the walnut top which could be subbed for other material) and has an easy easy construction method.

I decided to make a small cabinet for shoes in the hallway. The dimensions of the cabinet for shoes are 680 x 300 x 470mm. It is small, but it fits the size of the cabinet.
