Flip Top Storage Bench
This was very easy but was still one of my favorite builds. I used oak for the bench top and poplar for the rest. I used the pocket hole jig and gorilla wood glue and it is incredibly rigid and sturdy. I changed the height to 24 inches so I could raise the shelf platform up to 10 inches from the floor. This allowed me to place shoes under and on the shelf. I stained with polyshades mission oak and added an additional coat of satin polyurethane.
