After building the computer desk from Shanty@Chic's design. We decided to make a simple bench that matches. It is about 36" long (which is long), but we wanted both kids to be able to sit in front of the computer at the same time.
Cost was low except more Minwax stain and a 1"x3" for the trim on the bottom. Most was built from scraps desk material and we have a ton of extra wood we saved from the trim carpenter when we built our house last year.
Estimated Cost
$15
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
Minwax American Walnut mixed with a little Expresso stain to darken it a bit. One coat of semi gloss Poly.
We used the same stain as the desk. We finally found a mix that we really like.
