I wanted a hutch on my patio but didn't have the money. I've always loved the crates from Michael's so I decided to put everything together and create this Hutch. Great to hold my pool towels as well as serve drinks on! Best part it was right under $100!
  1. Paint or stain the crates.
  2. Stain the top, bottom, and backsplash.
  3. Screw the wheels into the bottom plank.
  4. Glue two crates to the lower piece of wood.
  5. Glue and attach two additional crate on top of the crates attached to the lower plank.
  6. Add glue to both sides of the remaining crate and place in between the two horizontal crates.
  7. Clamp all sides so the glue dries and adheres.
  8. Glue the top sides of the crates and place the plank on top. Clamp as well
  9. Cut metal sheets to fit in the back side of the crates
  10. Add glue to the crate backs and place the Metal Sheets firmly over the back.
  11. Attach the backsplash with five screws into the top plank.
  12. Reinforce the lower crates in the inside back Corners with screws. Repeat the same with the upper crates into the top plank
  13. Yay!That's it!
