Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Start by adding the dividers to the bottom shelf.
Step 2
Next, add the 1x2 supports. These just add a little extra something to the tops and help match up with the side lockers.
Step 3
Next, add the top. You can finish out the top front edge with edge banding or edge beading just to dress it up if desired.
Step 4
Attach back to all fixed edges with glue and nails.
Step 5
Step 6
Attach securely to wall studs and the side cabinets.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
