How to build a bench. DIY shoe storage bench. This is a very easy entryway shoe storage bench most anyone can build with just a few tools.  All you need are 2, 8 foot 2x6. 1, 8 foot 2x4 and 2, 8 foot 1x4.

This is how I make my small benches with arrow accents. This bench is perfect for entryways or even a bath caddy.
