We have included planter bench plans in the past (https://woodworkcity.com/2011/02/16/free-planter-bench-plans/), but decided to offer a very similar plan. The reason for this is that the source (learn2grow.com) did such a great job with this plan. In addition to that, the plan is a bit simpler than the first plan that we posted. There are numerous photos to help you during each step.
This is a beautiful bench that is made with very straightforward technique. If you are building a planter bench, you should view each plan and perhaps use a piece of each to make a bench that is perfect for you.

Thanks again, Dustin
