DETAILS: Everyone can utilize more storage. This built-in window seat offers 2 large drawers for storing linens, blankets, clothing, etc. and the soft-close mechanisms ensure a smooth and quiet operation. The 20-inch deep seating area provides an ideal nook for reading or relaxing in the midday sun. The bench seat and countertops are finished in grey laminate for durability and contrast. The 12 individual doors are constructed from select pine with 3-inch rails and stiles. The storage under the seat is accessible from both the top and 4 small doors on the face.

I had lots of plastic laminate left over, so I decided to build a matching dresser/desk. The top is gray laminate and matches the built-in, with a push to open top desk drawer and three soft close drawers below for clothing. The right “leg” of the desk is 5/8” thick smoked glass.

In the little video, you’ll see my prototype charger built into the desktop. A final version of it never made it to the desktop but I made a matching side table from the prototype that currently holds my printer.
