Question: I have a bookcase that I would like to submit transform into padded bench-like seat. I will lay the bookcase crabwise and use the bookcase slots to hold storage bins/baskets for magazines and racks. I distinguish there is an easy and inexpensive way to do this but I do not know the proper supplies to secure for the actual seat. Please help.
Answer: The prime problem will be preventing the piece from slanting, or skewing to one side or the other. Bond a 1" x 4" slat to the back on a diagonal from the top corner to the bottom facing corner. The permanently set shelves should provide enough vertical attest to.
