[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4067267, member: 49426"] You need some diagonal bracing in that bench, or plywood sides. Sure, it can handle a vertical load, but its side to side loading that makes it wobble. As to finish, use up whatever left over house paint you have laying around. Surely you can mix 2 or 3 cans together and come up with something that will work. Put your money in a sheet of plywood on top of the 2 x top It makes for a smooth flat surface and you can replace it when it looks like hell. Looks like it will cover a lot of wall space and be fairly deep. A few electrical outlets on the front of the bench under the top lip would be nice. Plywood from the floor to the lower shelf on the inside of the legs will save you a lot of time on your belly with a flashlight looking for parts under the bench. [/QUOTE]
