Made of repurposed decking wood. This is a primitive potting bench, or farmhouse kitchen island.. or…. Dimensions are 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, 36 inches high.

Good planning on the two dimensions of under-bench shelving. That makes it versatile enough for many things. Looks real sturdy!

I love it! That’s exactly the kind of thing I’d like in my kitchen…
Love the way you split the bottom so you have shelves and a large open area.

Aw you guys flatter me. LOL. Well now you have the dimensions. HA! Go forth and build one for the self, wives, daughters and friends. The trick is to use old wood – and I used screws/plugs so no screws show to ruin “the effect” wah-la! And I used an old can of white paint- which had been donated to my unwanted paint pile on the front porch. Final coat of stain- provincial (Minwax) from the same pile. Because it is made of old decking wood- which had been stained/painted many times over 20 years, the table/shelf really is functional outside. The water just beads off. But it isn’t stinky because the wood is so old- and it can also be used in the house. Go forth! and build one for next to your outdoor grill.

Nice job and just in time for us to use a few ideas. I like the 2 level under storage shelf idea.
Mine didn’t make it through the winter,... something to do with snow load,...
