How to Build a Mudroom Storage Bench and Hall Tree

Hey friends! In this video, I'm sharing how I built this hall tree/mudroom built in with storage bench.

It's a pretty simple build (although a little heavy!) from a few sheets of plywood.

I hope you enjoy watching it come together in the video, but if you want to build your own, grab the plans linked below.
