Build a Dining Chair Bench

$50

Easy
I built this bench last year and gave it to my mom for her birthday... She loves it and won't let anyone sit in it! A similar bench can be built by removing the seats and adding one long seat but I chose to build the chair frames as well!
I have quite a few chair plans on my site (I love to build chairs!) that would work perfectly for this project - any combo will do!
The chair frames would be completely constructed except for the seats, then spacers are added between each frame.
Then, one long seat is cut from plywood (which can be edged with regular boards so a decorative edge can be routed on it), then secured from underneath. this bench would be a great addition to the dining room, entryway, or porch!
