I had recently put a bathroom, tiled/carpeted my basement to make it more into a family room. The basement of my house is connected to the garage and has an entry door from the garage. As you can see the walls are brick and my wife wanted something to organize our coats and shoes. I found the plans on this sight for the entry way bench and shelf/coat rack and thought that would be perfect. I don't think it could have worked out better for the new basement/family room.

To make sure that there were no pocket holes showing or joinery marks I decided to use a biscuit joiner on this project and it worked perfectly.
If you use pine make sure to use a pre-stain wood conditioner if your going to let the wood grain show through.
