I love the milk crate bench shown on tonights episode, anyone know where I can get the instructions to create this. I would love this in a play room.

I only got a glimpse of it 'cause I watched just the ending, but I don't think it would be too difficult to do.
If I were doing one, I'd lay the crates on their sides, top to the front. Measure how long and how wide the "top" is and use a board(s) that size. I'd put a front and back on the top, maybe from a 1x3 or 1x4. I don't have any milk crates so can't measure, but whatever would look good and hold the top in place w/o sliding. Might do the same with the ends.
The front looked like it was cut out of thin plywood, maybe? Just get a 1/2 sheet, lay a crate on it and draw around, leaving probably 2-3" between openings. I don't know how it was attached, but I imagine you could use glue or drill holes in the crates and screw in the front.
Tha concept would make a great planting bench or a garage work area if you stacked the crates 2-3 high to get the right height. I can see LOTS of possibilities.
Good luck.
