How do I make an easy DIY bench for entryway closet?
+6
We decided to convert our hallway closet into a more functional space (for jackets, backpacks, shoes). We would like to build a bench since the pre-made ones are so expensive. We need help since we are not handy. Needs to be simple! LOL.

DIY Mudroom Bench - Easy to Make & Not Expensive (but Looks Great!)
Make it just like the shelf thats in it
You could use pallets, which are free from many businesses:

go to resale shops or resale online websites and try and find a bench.
Make sure the 2x4 is in the studs then screw the shelf or seat down into the 2x4. You may need another brace under the center of the seat for added support.
