[1] Hi there! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Are your kids getting ready to go to school too? If so, that means lots of clutter in the entryway! My friends Ashley and Whitney from Shanty2Chic [3] asked me to design a Hall Tree Plan that they could build for their little sister. This one provides tons of storage, tons of opportunities for hooks (hang a set low for kids back packs too!) and is quite pretty too! Here's from the Shanty2Chic [3] girls: Ash and I teamed up on this build! We found a great hall tree to build for our baby sister who is buying her first house. Everything was great minus the $1400 price tag! So... We enlisted the help of our sweet friend Ana to help us create our very own at a fraction of the cost. We love it so much that we might just keep it in Ashley's house and build another one ;-)! Good luck building! Please share photos with us when you are done! Summary: Free plans to build a Hall Tree! Step by step plans include shopping list, cut list, and detailed diagrams to help you build your own hall tree!

It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck! Step 1 [16] Page 7 of 15
Start by building the bench storage area. It's pretty simple, just follow along the plans and you'll be fine! TIP: If you want to use larger moulding on the bottom, you could raise the bottom by 1" (making the dividers 1" shorter) and use a 1x4 instead of a 1x3 for support. Step 2 [17] Now add the bottom supports. These are so when someone heavy sits on the hall tree the weight is transferred directly to the floor. Step 3 Page 8 of 15
[18] Build your face frame with 3/4" PHs and 1 1/4" PH screws and attach with 1 1/4" finish nails and glue. Step 4 [19] Wrap the bottom in 2 1/4" base moulding. Page 9 of 15
TIP: If you made the bottom higher, you will want to use 3 1/4" base moulding. Step 5 [20] Now build the back with 3/4" PHs and 1 1/4" PH screws. Check for square!!! Attach to back with 3/4" PHs and 1 1/4" PH screws along back edge. TIP: Layout all pieces and mark where all PHs are located. Then drill the PHs and attach. Page 10 of 15
Step 6 [21] Now add the top moulding. A simple 1x2 on top would be cute too! Step 7 Page 11 of 15
[22] You can use leftover plywood to cut these out too! From the 1x12, mark the pattern and carefully cut out with jigsaw. Clamp the two pieces together and sand until they match exactly. Attach in place. Step 8 Page 12 of 15
[23] Now add the back. The back is shown in three just in case you had to cut it to fit it in your car. Finishing InstructionsPreparation Instructions: Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces Page 13 of 15
as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
