Hey there!  I am SO excited that I have benches to match my newTriple Pedestal Farmhouse Table!

Thanks toAna White and her awesome PLANS, I was able to build two of these 9-foot bad boys for $90 total!

So, the grand total for my Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table and Benches is…. $215!Click HERE for the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table Plans!

You can get the plans for theTriple Pedestal Farmhouse Bench Plans from Ana HEREand you can follow along my build for pointers below;)

I assembled the legs withGorilla Gluewood glue.  The steps to build the legs are the exact same as the table (just smaller) so this was a piece of cake!

The decorative arches were a bit tedious (there are 24 for 2 benches!!!) but they were easy and they really make the whole piece!

Now for the seats:)

I couldn’t have built this with out myKreg Jig!  It is a lifesaver and makes every piece of furniture not only easier to build but super sturdy!  It will more than pay for itself with this dining set!

Frames done…EASY!

I also used my Kreg Jig to built the panels for the inside of the frames.  Make sure to measure and cut as you go for the best accuracy.  I also dry-fit my panels in the frames before attaching all of the boards.

I stained all of the pieces before assembling the top to the legs!

I chose one of our favorites,Rust-OleumEarly American, to stain the table and the benches!  I painted it on with a bristle brush and wiped away after about 5 minutes.  Temperature can vary set-time.  For colder weather, wait a little longer before wiping.

I followed with one coat ofRust-OleumPolyurethane in satin!

After letting the pieces dry, I brought them in the house and assembled the seats to the legs!

I’m so in LOVE with my dining set!   With a little elbow grease and awesome plans, I now have a gorgeous dining set for only $215!  There is plenty of room for our family of 5 to sit with guests over and fit comfortably:)

My kids love to spread out and do their homework and artwork and I love that I don’t have to worry about them ruining an expensive piece of furniture!  This set goes to show that you don’t need to pay expensive retail prices to have beautiful, well-built furniture in your home!

What’s on your DIY building wish list?

Thanks so much for stopping by:)
