Followed Ana’s plans down to the measurements. Didn’t have a brad nailer, so I attached the 1x4 sides with 3/4in pocket holes and 1 1/4in PH screws. Additionally used trim screws and 1 1/4 finish nails throughout it for places I couldn’t put a PH. Plan on getting four more brackets for the bottom half, like the top. Very proud of myself.
Stained the legs, top, and base before completely assembling them.
