    I know this was a bit of an experiment, Ana, but some really smart ideas behind it. I can imagine a scaled-down version using 1xs instead of the 2x4s for a lighter application, and I think the approach might also work for a multi-level piece with vertically stacked drawers. And I love the drawer face trick - I’m definitely going to steal that. Also love the family and artsy shots - nicely done.

    Ana, I am so greatful for your videos. You gave me courage to create this 24" deep x 48" wide bench. We remodeled our bathroom by transforming our tub into a walk in shower. We removed the small old shower stall which left a space where we created this nook. The drawers are our new laundry "baskets." We also added board and batten in the rest of the bathroom. Everyone loves the design and I have you to thank. Many blessings to you and your family. I posted this along with my pictures on your website's Brags section on 8/30/22 under "Easiest 2x4 Drawer Bench." Thank you again, Alice

    So I have this armoire that a friend gave to me. Over the years, I have stripped its finish, added shelves, stained it grey and now I want to make a drawer at the bottom to fit in my sewing machine . I have bought all of the tools that I need to do the job but I am afraid to make that first cut. I started watching your channel and after seeing all of your completed jobs, I feel more confident. I love everything you build!

    I really like the way you design this project. Even before cutting anything, you already have and idea what you want. And once you have a drawing and a cut list, the rest is in the details. I know people who start cutting without any idea about what their project will look like and this drive me nuts. You did a great job on this!! I will definitely borrow some of your ideas for my entry bench. Thanks. You ROCK!!!!

    I appreciate your videos!! It makes so much sense to design it like that and all drawers like that. I’m not sure why it’s normal to build with those inside panels that aren’t visible, unless it’s needed for load bearing or something.

    Hi Ana, love the design, will do similar when building a 960mm (39") internal chest of drawers for my wardrobe/closet build. Been following you for over 1 year and I am constantly inspired to do more. I have plenty of 2x4's, so the cost will be minimal and similar drawer runners/members. The build looks quite easy and I shall give it ago, once that I have finished making the wardrobe/closet doors. All the best to you, love your beautiful family. 😀 Just adding.... I am from UK

    Thank you so much for your plans and inspiration. I extended it to a dresser. It’s 72” wide and 36” high and 24” deep, with 6 drawers. Each drawer box is 32x23.5x7.5” I am still building it and currently feel overwhelmed. I not only dared to make dresser but making 2 at the same time and please be aware that this is my first time making any furniture and first time using nail guns, routers, spray paint gun etc. Already burned $1000 in materials but hoping something great comes out of it. One thing I would say is that folks should buy the highest quality premium 2x4 for this build.
