Braden Entry Lockers and Benchs

This project was for a garage entry and is perfect for what was needed. As described in the plans, it took about 9 hours. We chose to use Home Depot instead of Lowe's for materials. Some cuts were not done correctly and some missing. Went back once to complete. Rented a Nailer which was huge! Well worth it. The plans did not include how to attach the lockers to the benches, so we used 'L' brackets. May have missed those directions somewhere? We had orignally planned to make 3 benches and 4 lockers. Decided to use an existing bench in place of the middle Braden bench and worked just fine. Would not use pine again, but only plywood. Many pieces were warped and difficult to get lockers square, and we picked out the lumber! We chose not to add the drawers to the benches, but will add canvas bins for shoes.
