My son built me this in our dining room and I sanded it today. It's coming along beautifully, thanks to your handy guide and tips! Thank you ever so much xxx

Brilliant, this is exactly the kind of thing that costs an arm and a leg in retail and I'm so grateful for your plans and great video!

WOW! Another simple, elegant build. You got skills!!! 😍😍 I belong to the Kreg DYI group and every time someone asks for plans, we all point to Ana White!! This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for you and your sharing of all these great plans. Thank you!

Proud to see such a great result done by a professional woman!

I don’t need one but it looks nice and easy. The upholsterer in me wants to make French mattresses to add another level of finish to your brilliant benches. Thank you for sharing. 👍🔨

You are a force of nature. Thanks so much for another beautiful, useful plan that someone with moderate skills can make.

Love it, building a non-mounted one that is pushed up against siding in my Carolina room. Planning on making my pillows since they cost so darn much. This moves along pretty fast! Thanks for the plans.

Hello ! I know I am a little bit late to the party, but I just wanted to thank you very much for this detailed tutorial video and the free plans. I was able to build my own banquette thanks to you, with a little addition of an opened space on the right to put some electronic devices. It still need sanding and painting but I am very proud of the result so far !

Wow Ana that is a really nice job you done & you make it look so easy, but I know & you know it wasn't easy to do.
Hats off to you for making it look so easy. You make everything look so dang easy & I love how you explain it as you go along.
That helps a lot when your doing a project. Your a very good teacher & the craftsmanship is spot on.
Thanks for your free plans, I know people are great full. I know I lol....
Have a wonderful weekend, God bless,
Chris from Missouri

I've been watching this video on repeat for ages. Now starting the project. Thanks for all this and wish me luck 😂😂

Another great build. Thank you. I only wish our windows were higher so I could get ours underneath. Alas, our windows are only 9" from the frame to the floor. I might adapt this and install by the front door so the kids can use it when they get home from school.

I love the look of this bench project. The storage below the seats is a definite plus. I bet that the accent pillows cost as much as the rest of the project, huh? Thanks for sharing this video and for the free plans.

This is exactly what I was needing for our small eat in kitchen. Thanks!!

[ribbleslipscomb]

That is beautiful. Oh my gosh, simply beautiful.

[davidnunes]

Awesome 👌 👏 👍, love the way you build things and come up with these great ideas 💡.

Great video. Gonna build this for my sunroom- long over due. Probably will be full of my kiddo toys 🧸
I’ll post a video once it’s done. In the middle of kitchen renovations ❤
