High-Back Hall Bench

Add style and storage! Craftsman-style storage bench plan provides a place to both hang coats and remove entryway clutter. It’s also a great woodworking project that will give your shop skills a workout.

Both the bench and the upper assembly use frame and panel construction with stub tenon and groove joinery. The choice of wood also contributes to the classic look. We used riftsawn oak for the frames and plywood panels.

Plan also includes an informative guide for choosing and using oak for your project. We've also included some shop tips for creating stub tenon & groove joinery on the table saw.

Overall dimensions: 36"W x 17"D x 71"H
