This Old House general contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O'Connor build a storage bench for an entryway. (See below for a shopping list and tools)

The pocket screw system that Tom used to fasten the poplar is manufactured by Kreg Tool [www.kregtool.com/] and available at woodworking stores.
Tom used a router with a quarter-round, stepped beaded bit to dress up the panel. This bit is available at home centers and woodworking stores.
The inspiration for this piece was the Full Hall Tree and Storage Bench, item 5650-49, by Home Style Furniture [www.homestyles...], purchased from Amazon [www.amazon.com/].
