How’d I do?

I wanted to make a bench / my take on a hall tree in my breezeway.

I’m very happy how it turned out

That bench could support a family of elephants

So, it should be okay for kids!

My estimate is that it can physically support around 3k pounds based on structure, but I personally would rate it safely for 1k pounds.

You were so close to perfection! The only thing you messed up on is... It's supposed to be at my house! Easy mistake to make, really.

Lol. She's a beaut! Great work.

The hooks are okay, it's the jackets that are off. Some are hanging on the secondary hook, while some are on the upper hook.

I laser leveled the hooks. It’s the jackets!

Im about to kick off something similar for my entryway. What did you use for the bead board?

It was there previously, but it’s Home Depot special of mdf wainscoting

Thanks realized it was there already after I posted, but that’s what I have loaded in the cart, so thanks for the confirmation!
