We finished constructing these storage chests in our carpentry class that ended on 3/10/20. I missed the window of opportunity to go fabric shopping for the top, so had to wait for stores to reopen due to Covid shutdowns. Then I had to paint the chest, and I procrastinated on that since I don't much like to paint. I finally got it together and completed it yesterday, and I'm very pleased with the outcome! This is actually the one DH built, but I painted it and did the cushion. I gave my identical chest to my sister, since we didn't have need or space for two. Here are some pictures, with and without cats. The boys love it too and will probably use it the most, although not the storage functionality because they are minimalists! trunk 1.jpgtrunk 2.jpgtrunk 3.jpgtrunk cats.jpg
