Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!

It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

Widen the Armrests
I had built something similar to this. My main change to such plans is to widen the armrests. I used a 2x6.
This gives enough space to put down a tea pot, a small plate with cookies, and more - without anything falling off. I highly recommend this.

As a novice Sketchup user, how hard is it to build an item? The changes I’d need to make based on this bench are just enough that I feel like I should generate a model, but I have no idea how that works.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new surveys are added- checkbox now when a comment is added I recieve four emails concentrating on the same comment. Will there be in any manner you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks! Daniel Gordon GLD Partners

The when I just read a weblog, Hopefully who’s doesnt disappoint me as much as brussels. Come on, man, It was my method to read, but I just thought youd have some thing intriguing to express. All I hear is actually a handful of whining about something you could fix in the event you werent too busy searching for attention. Ross Levinsohn CEO

Hi Ana. I just have a question. What is the spacing between the seat boards? I'm guessing a 1/4inch?
