This was a really simple and easy project. I modified the design to fit the scrap wood that I had on hand to lower the cost. This bench is for my 2 year old and is the perfect height for a 2-5 year old. I used chalkboard paint on the work surface and peg board to add another interesting dimension to the piece.

Estimated Cost
Using scrap wood and finishing supplies on hand, I spent about a total of $5 on this bench (for peg board and hooks).
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
I first spray painted the work surface and peg board with chalkboard paint. I then used 2 coats of high quality flat paint (red) and 2 coats of gloss polyurethane to protect the workbench frame from wear and tear.
