Built this project as a present for my mother, who had an odd shaped mudroom and needed a very specific sized bench to fit. Built the top out of a solid 2x10x8 piece of reclaimed barn wood from a local 100 year old barn. Used my Ryobi table saw to rip it down into the proper size and stained it with Minwax Golden Pecan stain and a coat of clear coat poly. The bottom cubbys are made from birch plywood and painted matte black and distress sanded for a rustic, yet clean, modern look.
