Kelsey and Becky from “The Sorry Girls” have outdone themselves with a stunning DIY slatted bench project.
Inspired by HK Living’s $849 slatted teak bench (ouch!), they crafted their own version for under $50—a true budget-friendly triumph!
They started with affordable lumber: eight 2x4s and three 1x4s, all 72 inches long.
After precise measuring and cutting, they assembled the bench using wood glue and screws, ensuring a sturdy build.
A thorough sanding smoothed out the surfaces, and a rich wood stain added that high-end finish.
What I really love about these gals is how they demystify the process, making it accessible even for beginner woodworkers.
Their step-by-step guide is clear and encouraging, proving that stylish, quality furniture doesn’t have to break the bank.!
If you’re looking to add a chic, modern bench to pretty much any room, this project is a no-brainer.
Gather your materials, set aside some time, and follow their guide—you’ll have a beautiful piece to show off in no time!
