So I was bored and looking for something to build and that was functional. I had a idea in my head and went with it. We needed some storage for the kids stuff(bags, coats, hats, etc.) So i made this. Its 1/2 MDF, 3/4 pine for the facing and 3/4 poplar plywood for the bench. It was $400 for material and I think it came out pretty sweet. I still have to finish the crown at the top and fabricate the coat hooks for the three cubbys. I made a quick prototype of of 1/2 flat stock. I still have to make a bench cushion and other little stuff. I will do the same but make them better. I like it, I thought I would share. ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1545_zpsxhfp0bv0.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1545_zpsxhfp0bv0.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1547_zps9ftoyled.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1547_zps9ftoyled.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1549_zpssern6vwp.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1549_zpssern6vwp.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1553_zpsochuivag.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1553_zpsochuivag.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1602_zpsjkxgcmiw.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1602_zpsjkxgcmiw.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1600_zpsiqdliiuf.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1600_zpsiqdliiuf.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1602_zpsjkxgcmiw.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1602_zpsjkxgcmiw.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1604_zpsxc2lvhtw.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1604_zpsxc2lvhtw.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1607_zpsspptfydg.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1607_zpsspptfydg.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1612_zpsobfnqt7x.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1612_zpsobfnqt7x.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1617_zpstoe25utq.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1617_zpstoe25utq.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1618_zpspybpxofd.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1618_zpspybpxofd.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1622_zpsjbizz7nj.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1622_zpsjbizz7nj.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1623_zpstuulcmkg.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1623_zpstuulcmkg.jpg) ![http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1624_zpstgm4fia2.jpg](http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/716pro/IMAG1624_zpstgm4fia2.jpg) ---

> [@JDMSIR](#): > > I used oil based primer and then semigloss white paint Latex for the topcoat? Have you had any issues with things sticking to the surface? It seems every time I paint a surface like that with latex it takes a month before the paint has cured enough for things to not stick to it. ---
