Hutch to match the cube collection drawer bench.
Yesterday, it was the drawer bench plans. Today? The matching hutch.
Preparation
2 – 8′ 1x12s or 1 – 14′ 1×12
3 – 8′ 1×2 Boards
1/4″ Plywood
2″ Screws or 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws
2″ finish nails
2 – 1×12 @ 38″ (Sides)
3 – 1×12 @ 27″ (Shelves)
4 – 1×2 @ 38″ (Side Trim)
2 – 1×2 @ 25 1/2″ (Top Trim)
1 – 1/4″ Plywood @ 38″ x 28 1/2″ (Back)
Instructions
Step 1
This is how easy it is to build. Build the box with 2″ screws and glue or use 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws.
Step 2
Trim out the sides. Keep outside edges flush. Nail into shelves too. Use 2″ finish nails and glue.
Step 3
Now the top trim. Same thing, 2″ nails and glue. If you are using a Kreg Jig™, build the face frame first, then nail on.
Step 4
And tack the back on. It really is that easy. Now for the tough part – time to finish it Make sure you read though our get started section for finishing advice and general build instruction.
It’s a beautiful day! Let’s get out and build something.

Thanks for doing these! I love this collection. Is there any chance that you'll be doing the 8 cube bookshelf?

Ooooh, I really like that
Ooooh, I really like that one! I would love to, time permitting. In the meantime, you could just build a wider tower, with dividers down the center. Ana

Securing the hutch to the drawer?
Just wondering if you found it necessary to secure the hutch to the cubby drawer? I am wanting to build this just slightly wider to accommodate some nice wooden drawers I found out on the curb.
Just wondering how you would secure it with out the hardware being overly exposed or in the way?
