What a cute idea! I love this project, it’s not too difficult and I know my daughter will benefit from it. FUN FUN FUN! What you will need to make the benches:

  • one 1″ x 8″ x 47 1/2″ long board, or measure according to the length of your coffee table*
  • 2 pieces wood: 1″ x 8″ x 7 1/2″ for the legs…cut a v-shape on one end of each piece
  • 1 wood piece for the center bracket: 1″ x 2″ x 42″
  • Jigsaw
  • Circular saw
  • Pencil
  • Wood screws
  • Router *Optional
  • Turquoise satin finish latex paint
  • Paint brush
