Built In Kitchen Bench Banquette Seating With Storage
This built in banquette was custom designed and built for a growing family. They specifically requested the storage to maximize storage space in their home. They also asked for the seating to be made with an angle for a more comfortable seat. The final design was based from a basic sketch and room measurements. The bench is made from plywood and pine trim. It was color matched to the existing trim.
