Shoe Rack Bench From Three 2x4s – Build Plans PDF

Build an entryway bench with a shoe shelf underneath from just three 2x4s. Thin rounded planks, a slatted bottom shelf and doweled screw holes give it a clean, finished look with no visible screws on the sides. A 38" bench that's practical, sturdy and easy to sell.
