DIY Storage Bench made from recycled wood and left over laminate flooring. The wood came from old bench seats in a school gym that were being replaced. Here is another project I made from more of the same timber : https://youtu.be/8hSq-qSP4Yc
The walnut laminate flooring was left over from when I was flooring my house. Its actually a great way to use up any flooring you have left over and the furniture you make will also match your floor!
Any house especially kids can never have enough storage so this is a great way to hide any toys or other things you would like to store away from view while still having quick and easy access to. It also acts a bench seat which can easily seat two people.
The floor in the storage bench is semi solid flooring, its was also walnut and I just had enough bits to do the floor. I went with this as it is stronger than the laminate. These bits were also left over from another room.
The only thing I purchased for this project was the chain which cost €1.70 from my local hardware store.
Obviously it would have been easier and quicker to buy new timber but I think it was a good way to reuse old and left over wood that would probably just end up rotting.

well done!!!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful…
add instructions please
great job !!!!
Sweetness! Too bad there are no measurements like where to cut
You're not a DIYer any more but a professional. Thanks for sharing.
That's really nice. Just getting into working at 50. I'd like to be able to make that for myself or someone. Nice job.
What do you call that bit?
Great job thanks for sharing
I applaud you for an awesome video, no unnecessary loud distracting annoying music, no long introduction about you , your life, your history. Just straight to the point and you didn't even say a word. While I may not be able to make that bench (and btw great job) hats off to a great video.
Are you oilbase or waterbase for primer coat?
Very well done. Liked how you used flooring as panels.
wow i love this video awesome project!!!
I really like the ease and simplicity of this project, not to mention the effective use of left-over laminate flooring and the lack of fancy tools . You don't need a fully-equipped wood shop to make nice things for your home.
great stuff!!
Great to see someone using simple/basic tools, not a domino, biscuit, planer, jointer, table saw in sight, yet a great result. Truly inspiring for those just starting out. Thanks.
Great work👍🏻
Nice job. Looked like real wood, not laminate. Would have loved to see what the recycled wood would have looked like stained. I bet it would have been really nice. Maybe a future project…
Awesome video! Excellent re-use and it looks amazing.
Excellent recycle..
Amazing job. I would i buy it. And I love the sounds of hammering and chiseling
I LOVE IT!!!! would love to build on can you tell me the measurements of each side.
