A Unique Dining Room Experience
The dining bench that Vincent created is more than just a place to sit. This stylish bench is a perfect example of how functionality and aesthetics can go hand in hand. The bench is built with MDF Primed, ordered via OPMAATZAGEN.nl , and provides a fresh, modern look to the dining room.
Design and Construction
The dining bench exudes simplicity and refinement. The design includes a solid construction of MDF Primed, a fair choice for such projects because of its sleek finish. The bench is constructed from multiple compartments, which not only provide stability, but also create a storage solution. This makes optimal use of every square centimeter.
The top of the bench has a soft white finish, perfectly matching the calm atmosphere of a dining room. The space for storage bins under the seat is a clever addition that prevents clutter without compromising on style.
Perfect Space for the Dining Room
With its neutral white colour, the sofa fits effortlessly into any dining room. The light through the large windows makes the dining room inviting and the white sofa enhances this light effect. The minimalist design puts the focus on the space itself, making it appear larger and more open.
Benefits of DIY Work
Making a piece of furniture like this dining bench yourself offers many advantages. The flexibility in terms of dimensions allows you to perfectly match the bench to your interior and specific wishes, while giving you the freedom to experiment with the choice of materials. MDF Primed is a suitable type of wood because it is easy to work and paint, making it ideal for DIY projects.
Scandinavian Style
This dining bench perfectly captures the essence of the Scandinavian style. The combination of a simple shape, functional structure and light colour scheme create a timeless look that blends harmoniously with different interior styles.
Advantages of MDF Primed
MDF Primed offers a number of significant advantages. The surface is smooth and ready for paint, making it ideal for projects that require a refined finish. In addition, the homogeneous structure ensures a stable and durable construction of furniture. The accessible price also makes MDF Primed a good choice for DIY enthusiasts on a budget.

Step by step guide
Preparation
- Create a design in SketchUp (free version) with all the right measurements. The bench is 240cm wide, and consists of 4 cabinets for extra storage.
Montage
- Start by building 4 separate frames of the cabinets. For strength I used an extra crossbeam.
Attach the cabinets together with a plate at the back and a slat at the front. This is the base for the bench.
Glue the small fronts onto the protruding legs for finishing (not necessary, looks nice without too).
Now mount the cabinet doors with the hinges and use a magnetic lock so that they stay closed. Drill round holes in the doors to be able to open them easily.
Now place the large plate on top. I have mounted beams on the side here, so that I can mount an oak finishing strip on it. It also ensures that it remains firmly in place, without having to screw or glue it.
Have the oak slat cut to size and mounted along the edge of the large plate for a beautiful look.
Finish
- Custom made cushions for the sofa - looks perfect and is comfortable!
