Add elegance and lots of extra storage for hats, scarves, mitts and more with this stylish Deacon's Bench. While adhering to our belief that home projects should be simple, this impressive piece replicates a 1907 Green Brothers design that borrows from some Asian influence and yet remains easy enough for woodworkers of all abilities to build.

In this design, breadboards have been used to protect the bench from humidity changes so you shouldn't experience any warping or cupping. Meanwhile, ebony plugs add style while concealing easy-to-assemble joints.

Our plans for this deacon's bench come with a complete materials list, a listing of tools required, detailed cutting schedule, actual photos, and step-by-step instructions.

Finished, the deacon's bench stands 40 inches tall, 50 inches wide and 20 inches deep.
