General Instructions
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Step 1
Notch out hutch sides as desired.
Step 2
Next, add the shelf.
Step 3
Notch out the tops of divider to fit a 1x2 on front and 1x3 on back. Use a jigsaw to make square cuts. Attach divider to shelf.
Step 4
Next, add the front and back trim, making sure the divider is centered on the 1x2 and 1x3.
Step 5
Add the bottom trim.
Step 6
And the back trim.
Also, not pictured, add the base trim flush to bottom back of hutch
with 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws on back side, or 2" countersunk screws and wood glue.
Step 7
Next, add the top. Notice the 2" overhang on sides and front.
Step 8
Attach beadboard or plywood to back.
Step 9
Apply moulding as desired, mitering corners to fit.
Step 10
Finally, secure to bench and wall to prevent forward tipping.

Great!
This looks great. It's just want I need :D
Awesome!
I come home and my military uniform gets spread out everywhere. This would make the perfect uniform organizer!
LOVE THIS!!
Hi Ana! I love your site and all of your projects! I recently completed the Farm House King Head/Foot board and absolutely LOVE IT! Working on one for my son's room now as well.
I am trying to find plans for something very similar to this hall tree, although I would like it to slide into a corner. Have you done anything similar or do you have any recommendations for altering the above plans to make a corner hall tree? I am thinking about using the Corner Unit for the twin storage bed and add the top piece to it - what are your thoughts on that? Thanks in advance!
