Step One
Cut the pieces for the bottoms and the posts. Attach the posts to the bottoms as shown using glue and countersunk 1-1/4″ screws through the bottom into the ends of the posts.
Step Two
Cut the pieces for the slats. Attach the longer slats first using glue and 1-1/4″ screws, then attach the shorter slats in the same manner.
Finish as desired! If desired, handles can be added to the sides, as well as teflon feet to the bottom.
The crates can also serve many other uses – they can be stacked in a mudroom to corral shoes or pet supplies, used for craft storage, or even as a place to store books!
