Keep this combination coat rack and bench near your entry door, then say goodbye to soggy shoes on the carpet and jackets tossed over the backs of chairs. The lower cabinet provides a handy seat to tie or take off shoes. Store baskets of seasonal gloves, hats, and scarves in the bottom cubbies. Add a coat hook for each family member. As a bonus, we've added a step-by-step procession how to make your own cove molding using just your tablesaw and 3/4" x 5" stock.

And, we'll show you how to pack the most bits into the smallest space.
