Hi ! For inside or outside ? For inside , Ikea make s an open cubed shelf unit that can be used both upright or sideways on the floor . Lay it on its side , add small legs or casters , if you want . Then , All you need are the baskets ( which they sell there , too ,) that fit into the cubes and a cushion for the top !

Hello Denise,

Draw up your design and build accordingly or build a box the size you want then add a back and sides and maybe feet to it............ Try it out - only smaller, first if worried, Then the children or the birds will have somewhere to sit too. Enjoy the journey!
