A couple of months ago I built a farmhouse table for our dining room. Now that we've moved into our house and have more space, I've put together the bench too. I used 2x6's for the top and 2x4's for the legs. When I put the legs on, it didn't feel sturdy enough so I added some 2x2 braces for support. I wasn't sure how they would look at first, but they really add a cool dimension to the bench.
