he starts by building the benches with supports and studs.

this is followed by attaching vertical and horizontal supports on the floor to prevent the booth from bending backwards.

Next, he wrapped the bench around the other walls. These supports couldn't attach to studs, so square supports that attached to the wall were built instead.

#7

Plywood created the bench seats.

#8

Seat foam was cut to size to make the benches more comfortable.

#9

Waterproof outdoor fabric was used to cover the seats. This makes for an easy clean-up in case of spills.

#10

The fabric was stapled to the benches.

#11

Bead board was cut to size for the bench facing.

A hole for the AC vent.

The vent covers up any small mistakes that were made when the hole was cut.

#14

Trim was attached with an electric nail gun.

#15

Any gaps were filled in with caulk, and then the bead board was painted white.

Finally, the custom-built table was put in place.

A few throw pillows and table setting accents bring the finished project together. This booth can now fit 12 people, and up to 15 if chairs are placed at the end of the table.
