Completed this about a week…
Completed this about a week ago. As usual, I went with the "--" instead of the "X", but it still turns out great. Would have loved to upload, but no such opportunity. I need to look for my next project (preferably a bookshelf)

Finished building this today…
Finished building this today. It was a fun build and I'll probably build a few more for friends/family. Wish I could figure out how to post my build.

Great Design!
Thanks for the plan. I built it with a few edits to make it slightly less rustic!

Halltree
Thank you for the plan Ana. I changed it up a bit but I enjoyed building this halltree.
