DIY Pallet Wood Entry Bench With Shoe Storage
You really just need a chest that is low or high enough to sit on and that has a lid that lifts up. If you want to make one to fit a particular place you would have to have basic carpentry skills, wood, nails, hinges (inc. one that holds the top up) an electric saw, hammers, screw drivers I have zero carpentry skills yet I made this spice cabinet many years ago. Can'r remember if husband cut wood for me or not.
Here's another one Paula!
