Poker starting hands table

The charts are a kind of table that shows the spectrum of hands you should be playing and what to do in any situation with those cards.

Each of them is made up of ranges.

The starting hands chart provides pre-flop information about which cards to choose to play and how to enter the game.

It's okay to use separate graphics for each discipline, because what's good for cash games isn't always good for tournaments. And if something is good for heads-up play, it might look quite different for tables of 6 or 9 at most...

Let's find all this out in the right order.

Poker Starting Hands
Starting hands are the pocket cards you enter the game with. Selecting the correct starting hands is very important in Hold 'Em, because the outcome usually depends on the cards you play. Roughly speaking, you need to be able to separate good cards from bad, discard bad hands, and play the strongest. This strategy will be positive in the long run.

• Base of Selection for Starting Hands and Basic Graphics
• These are some of the most popular questions: "Which cards should beginners play?" or "What cards should I play to win?" Unfortunately, there is no 100% correct answer to these questions. You can win the hand with 2-7o (unsuited) and lose it with pocket aces. Many other factors influence the outcome of the game than just the quality of the starting hands. However, with the right approach, it will be more effective in the long run to enter the game with stronger cards, such as pocket pairs, suited connectors, high suited cards, and so on.

The best starting hands' charts

There are many different starting hand graphics depending on the type of game, chosen strategy, your position and situation at the table. But there are some basics of starting hand selection on which you can build the basic graphics.

Premium starting hands:

Top level (2% are the best starting hands): aces, kings, queens and AKs (suited).
Second level: AKo (unsuited), AQs (matching suits), AJ and KQ, jacks, and dozens of jacks.
Top 10 starting hands:

• Aces, kings, queens, jacks, tens, AKs, AQs, KQs, AJs and AKo.
• The 20 best starting hands:
• Top ten starting hands + A10s, KJs, QJs, K10s, Q10s, A9s, AQo, AJo, nines and eighths.
• The visually basic graphics are as follows:
• Premium starting hands chart
• Premium starting hands
• Top 10 starting hands chart
• Top-10 starting hands
• Top 20 starting hands table
• Top-20 starting hands

How to read the graphics?
You don't need to be an expert to read poker tables. There are all possible pairs of cards on the table that can be dealt in Texas Holdem (the total value is 196 possible combinations). Card suits are not taken into account here. The only factor taken into consideration here is whether they are suited or not.

Typically, several colors are used in the chart and there are explanations from the author about these colors. For example, if you have blue cards in the chart and the author writes that the cards identified with blue are worth raising, therefore, according to your belief, raising will be the most effective solution in this case.

Note: To understand our preflop charts and charts below, remember that "s" in the text means "suited", "o" - unsuited. Remember, beginners can interpret "s" as a sign of spades. ("h" - hearts, "s" - spades, "d" - diamonds, "c" - clubs).

If the letter is not specified, it is likely that it refers to cards of different suits. The suit doesn't matter in some particular cases.

Example: AKs mean A ♥ K ♥; A ♦ K ♦; A ♣ K ♣; A ♠ K ♠ (4 possible combinations).

AKo means A ♥ K ♦; A ♥ K ♣; A ♥ K ♠; A ♦ K ♥; A ♦ K ♣; A ♦ K ♠; A ♣ K ♥; A ♣ K ♦; A ♣ K ♠; A ♠ K ♥; A ♠ K ♦; A ♠ K ♣ (12 possible combinations).

In some tables and texts, “X” is indicated instead of a specific letter. This means that it can be any card (usually it is a card of lesser value than the first indicated). The "Xs" means any card of the same suit.

Which graphic is worth choosing?
Each player selects an individual chart and determines what percentage of hands he will play. The selection of the graph directly depends on the player's strategy. If he follows a tight style, his range will be quite narrow. If he uses a loose style, his range will be greater.

Beginners can use internet graphics, gradually adapting them to their game. It's important to focus not only on your range, but also on your opponents. Even the tightest player can enter the game with any two cards in particular situations. For example, when a player sees that there is a high probability that his opponent will fold his cards in response to his preflop raise.

How and where to get the necessary graphics
You will find many poker charts and starting hand charts on the internet. There are plenty of them in poker books, forums and professional player articles. Many poker schools give away graphics free to play with minimum limits or provide students with specially designed tables for an extra fee.

The main thing is to find out which ones are best suited for you. You can create the chart yourself, but it's a pretty painstaking job.

In this article, we've put together for you the most popular and most wanted graphics for real money players and tournament players.

9-max bss starting hands chart:


For ease of use, we use various colors in the table. You can print it out (download the BSS 9 max table in good quality + color version) and use it as a crib note.

Starting hands graphics for small tables (6 bss max), depending on table position:
Download chart for 6 months

• Red banknotes mean strong hands. It's worth playing with them if you're the first to enter the game or if your opponent limped in. If the player in front of you entered the game with a raise, you should re-raise with those hands about 3.5 times his bet. If there was a raise after you, you should either raise three times or bet all-in.

Yellow ballots (BB only) signify hands that are good for robbing players with 50 stacks of BB and above. You should play them from the big blind if the raise is no more than 4BB from CO, BU or SB. If there was a raise of MP2, MP3 or more than one opponent, you better fold.

Blue-colored banknotes signify medium-strength hands. You should play with them if no one enters the game before you or if there is a limping entry. If there was a raise before or after your action, you'd better fold your cards. The exception will only be in the big blind.

Green ballots mean weak hands. With their help, you can steal the blinds and play just in case no one enters the game before you.

High stakes and low stakes games are different in many ways, but the graphics are defined through the range of hands and more dependent on the selected strategy. That's why they are not divided into micro-limit graphics or graphics for high risk players.

Graphics for Tournament Players
The blinds grow in tournaments over time and the ratios between players' stacks and blinds steadily decrease. Also, the game is designed to fend off opponents, so it is necessary to apply different tactics in the early, middle and late stages of the tournament and therefore use different starting hand graphics.



More simplified graph for MTT at an early stage:

• Simplified chart for MTT at an early stage
• MTT chart for the intermediate stage of the tournament:

In the final stage of the tournament (final table), stack size plays a much more significant role than hole cards. It is best to avoid playing against opponents with big stacks if you are not confident in the strength of your hand. You must choose the chart in the final stage of the MTT according to the amount of chips.

The aforementioned graphics can be suitable for both expensive tournaments and freerolls. However, they can only be used as a guide in situations where it is difficult to adjust to a specific opponent. In real life, it's difficult to play exclusively table-based in multi-table tournaments.

For a start you can check the tables in the freerolls, because their field differs from the usual MTT for real money and at the same time you determine the convenience of the ranges for free.

Spin & Go charts
Spin & Go starting hands chart will be very useful for beginners. It helps players understand which hands to use to call, raise, push or fold and in what position to do so. The suggested charts below are best suited for a Spin & Go max of 3 max with a starting stack of 25BB.

Starting Hand Graphics for Spin & Go on the Button



With a stack of 10-25BB on the button, it is recommended to enter the game with a minimum raise of 2BB, as this position is the most profitable at the table and has its advantages. In the first table, the ballots highlighted with colors signify the hands you can raise from the button with.

With stacks of 10BB or less, the "push-fold" stage starts with Spin-and-go and the less chips you have, the lower your range (purple cells - 10-8 BB, red cells - 7 -6 BB and yellow cells - less than 5 BB).

You should not call opponent bets greater than 10% of your stack with speculative hands.

Starting Hand Graphics for Spin & Go in the Small Blind

Charts for Spin&Go in SB

You should decrease the number of calls from the small blind. Like the button, in the tables for MB hands that are worth entering the game with minimum raises (2.5BB) with a stack above 10BB, colors are highlighted, as well as push hands with a stack smaller than 10BB (ballots purple - 10-8 BB, red bills - 7-6 BB, yellow bills - less than 5 BB).

SNG Graphic (push-fold according to Nash)
Many factors influence decision making in SNG games: starting hand, position, number of players in the pot, etc. If no one entered the game before you or did so with a limp, then generally the decision is made according to your table position and pocket cards. In this case, the most comfortable and simplest graph for low limit SNG tournaments can be indicated in this table:



It is indicated in the table which the maximum amount of BB in stack is adequate to enter the game (shoving) with one or another card. Hands that are absent from the table are not suitable for a push.

Heads-Up Table according to Nash
With the help of Nash's equilibrium graphics, you can modify your game so that you always make the right math decision. It is indicated in the diagrams whether it is worth shoving or folding a hand, depending on the size of the current stack:





How to Use Nash Balance Charts

Find your hand on the above table (blue center diagonal - pairs, pink bills under diagonals - off-suit, purple bills over diagonals - suited cards).

If the player pushes all-in against you, use the second diagram. Otherwise - use the first one. If the amount of your blinds is equal to or less than the stakes indicated, you must put all your chips into the pot. If your number of blinds is higher than indicated in the diagram, you must fold.

Your winning edge may not be that big, but you make a profit after playing hundreds or even thousands of heads-up matches using Nash's balance graphics (push-fold graphics).

Chart according to Sklansky
Each player has their own unique approach to playing, but most follow similar ideas about the starting hand range.

For the first time, its ranking was created by David Sklansky, the famous poker player and author of poker books. He determined 8 groups of starting hands and explained which hands to choose and when to enter the game preflop.

Poker starting hands (David Sklansky table):

Sklansky writes that:

• Group 1-3 hands are played from early position
• Middle position - group 1-5
• Final position - group 1-7
• Be in blinds - 1-8 (all groups)
• For your convenience, we have graphed the Sklansky table.

David Sklansky's starting hands chart:

Sklansky's chart

In this chart, the hands of group 1 are colored blue, light blue - group 2, green - group 3, light green - group 4, yellow - group 5, orange - group 6, pink - group 7 and purple - group 8.

The gray ballots show bad hands that you need to fold in most cases.

special soft
There is special soft that automatically calculates the reach of the hands according to the defined parameters. Most programs suggest free trial versions in which you can graph your starting hands (most often the preflop graph).

The most popular graphics training programs: Equilab and Poker. You can use other poker calculators with graphics.

With the help of special programs, you can also determine specific opponents' ranges and adjust your graph for them.

Please note: in some poker rooms, it is prohibited to use these programs while the game program is open. Furthermore, some poker rooms may even suspend an account to an open Excel program, where multicolored ballots are used. For example, if PokerStars sees an open program for charts or Excel document, they will send a warning to the email and may suspend the account.

As it is desirable to have the chart at hand, there is an easy way out of this situation: open it on the other device (laptop, phone) or print it if possible.

Advice on applying graphics for beginners
Standard graphics and ranges are good for beginners, but for a more effective game you must learn to adapt to your opponents and optimize your game depending on their indicators. For example, if opponents tend to fold to raises, you should widen the range of hands and if there are more loose players against you, it might be worth playing with only the strongest cards.

To optimize your starting hands graph, you should pay close attention to your opponents' play, record your notes, examine the VODs in your discipline, and read modern literature.

Ideally, your graphics should be as flexible as possible to adjust to your opponents.

Please keep in mind that all charts are of a recommending nature and even if you follow them violently, you cannot guarantee 100% profit.

To adjust the graph yourself, you need to check your current limits, but first you can test the graph in freerolls or cash games for play money.

If you're just getting started on your way to playing poker, you can also add the charts and tables mentioned in this article to your arsenal. They are suitable not just for expensive games. You can use it as graphics for micro limits and graphics for freerolls.

Best Folding Tables in 2021

The folding table is an essential piece of furniture for apartments and small houses, as it can save a lot of space when closed, whether in the kitchen, bedroom, balcony or outdoor area. However, with the huge variety of products on the market, many people do not know which model to buy.


That's why we made this article with tips on how to choose the best folding table for your home and we even ranked the 10 best folding tables on the market. Here you will find products from brands such as Mor, Tecnomobili, Palisad and several others.

How to Choose the Best Folding Table
With so many different models on the market, before buying your folding table, you need to analyze all of its important features, such as dimensions, shape, material of manufacture, among others. So check out our guide on choosing the best folding table!


Folding Wall Table, Desk, Bistro?  Choose the Usage-According Model
When looking for a folding table, the first thing to keep in mind is how you intend to use it, as each model serves certain uses. One of the most common models is the bar type , which takes its name because it is very similar to the tables of this type of establishment, and still usually comes with chairs.

Another type is the folding camping table, which is very versatile  and can also double as a portable dining table. It is lighter and is very compact when folding, so it can be easily carried on trips and tours. There are also dinner tables, which are usually taller and more robust.

There are also desk tables, ideal for those who work at home . Folding wall tables are wall mounted and can be used as dining tables and desks, and some are retractable. There are also side tables for barbecues, with a board-shaped top, and bistro models, round and taller.

If Your Environment is Small, Prefer a Rectangular or Round Folding Table
A lot of people think that choosing the shape of a table is simply aesthetic, but that's not true. Its shape will influence the circulation of your environment and the number of chairs it accommodates. Therefore, for small environments, prefer round or rectangular models.

Round folding tables make it easy to move around because they have no corners and are great for spaces where you need to place multiple tables. Rectangular ones favor the accommodation of more people in a smaller space , as they have less depth than width. Square ones are more suitable for larger locations.

Check if the Table Dimensions are Adequate for the Space
One of the first steps in choosing a folding table is to pay attention to its dimensions. That's because, it's no use buying a beautiful product if it doesn't fit in your house, right? Therefore, carefully analyze the model's measurements. Some brands also provide the dimensions of the closed product .


The height usually ranges from 70 cm, as in the models of camping tables , to 90 cm, as in the models of camping or bistro. These measurements, of course, are from the open tables. The width and depth tend to vary more, as they depend on the format and the model.

Pay attention to the number of seats that the folding table offers
In addition to simply considering the dimensions of the folding table, it's nice to pay attention to the number of seats it offers. As they are intended for smaller spaces, the most common models have 2 or 4 seats , depending on the format, but there are larger models.

To choose, it is important to analyze how many people live in your residence and if they all tend to have meals at the same time. It's always nice to have some extra places to receive visitors and family members, as long as your environment has the necessary space.

The calculation of the number of seats which a table holds takes into account that each seat needs, more or less, 65 cm for the person to sit comfortably . Therefore, considering the use of 4 sides, a 6-seat table will be at least 1.30 m wide and 65 cm to 70 cm deep.

Choose the Material of the Folding Table According to the Environment Where You Will Place It
Another important feature to analyze when choosing a good folding table is the material it is made of. Today, there are models in wood, aluminum, iron, steel and plastic on the market . The choice will depend on the environment in which you will place it and its decoration.

If you are looking for a folding table for outdoor use, the ideal is to bet on aluminum and plastic models , such as polypropylene, because they are more resistant to water and sunlight. But indoors, wood, steel and iron models also work super well.

The folding wooden table can be made of MDF, MDP or even solid wood . The latter is quite resistant and withstands more exposure to water and sun. Among the other two types, MDP is more water resistant and bears more weight than MDF.

If You're Looking for a Portable Folding Table, Consider the Weight
Many people use folding tables for camping or picnics . Therefore, in addition to size, it is important to consider the weight of the model. The ideal is always to bet on those made with lighter materials, such as aluminum and plastic.

Among the folding camping table models, the weight usually varies between 2 kg and 8 kg , depending on the dimensions of the product. In common models, the table can be much heavier, reaching up to 20 kg in solid wood products, for example, a heavier material.

See Extra Attributes, such as Plank, Cabinet, Height Adjustment and Others
In addition to all these essential features for a folding table, some models also have extra attributes, such as a barbecue board, cabinets, height adjustment and casters, not to mention the briefcase function . So check out more about each of them before you buy!

Folding Table Turns a Briefcase: Ideal for Picnics and Camping
A feature that not all models have, but that is very useful for those who want to take the folding table for picnics and camping, is the function as a briefcase. This type of table  can be folded almost completely into an easy-to-carry suitcase .

But not only that. The folding table models turn into a briefcase also have a handle so you can carry it more conveniently . As they will be used outdoors, they are usually made mostly of plastic or aluminum, resistant and light materials.

Retractable Folding Table with Cabinet: Gain More Storage Space
As small apartments become more and more common , furniture manufacturers have launched a retractable folding table with cabinet model. This format can help those who need more storage space and don't want to compromise the movement of people around the house.

This type of folding folding table can be folded away when not in use and acts as a closet door. When using it, just unlock and assemble it. Typically, these models are used as a 2-person dining table or a 1-person desk.

Folding Table with Height Adjustment: for Any Occasion
Another very interesting extra attribute that we find on some folding tables on the market is the height adjustment. It usually has two measures available for you to adapt the product to the necessary occasion and to the height of the people who will use it.

This feature usually appears on folding camping tables, so  the maximum height is around 70 cm to 75 cm. The minimum height varies a lot from model to model, ranging from 30 cm to 60 cm. This attribute allows for more versatility in using your folding table.

Folding Table with Casters: Convenience for Changing Places
If you are one of those people who love to move furniture around, an extra important feature to note on a folding table is the presence of castors on the feet. With them, you can move the product much more easily, whether it is closed or open.

It is common that these folding tables with wheels have a lock so that the product can be moved only when necessary and to avoid accidents. The casters are also super useful for those who want to store the table in another place after use and, therefore, take up less space.

Folding Table with Removable Top: Perfect for Barbecue Fans
This is a super cool function for those who like to have a barbecue with family or friends. Today, there are folding table models of the barbecue support type on the market that have a removable top. Thus, they work as a side table or support to cut and season meat anywhere!

The removable table top can even be used to serve meat to guests. These tables are usually made of wood and receive the same treatment as meat boards so as not to deteriorate so quickly. Some of them even have supports for skewers and knives.

Choose a Color that Matches Your Decor Well
In addition to the type, dimensions, shape and other more technical characteristics, it is important to analyze the color of your folding table before purchasing it. This attribute varies greatly by material. The wood, for example, can be in its natural tone or painted .

To choose the color, pay attention to your decor. Natural wood tones look good in rustic settings, while more neutral colors like white and black work well in any style. But if you're more modern and daring, choose a colorful folding table .

Consider a Table Set with Seats for More Economy and Ease
If you are looking to save on the purchase of your folding table, a good tactic is to bet on those models that already come with seats, which can be chairs, benches or stools . This is an advantage because the individual value of each item turns out to be higher.

To choose which type of seating is best, you need to consider available space and table usage. If you have little space or will be using it for a short period of time, benches and stools are great. But,  those who have more space and want a more comfortable option, should opt for chairs .

How to choose a folding stool?

It's not uncommon to have a folding or stationary bar counter in your home's kitchen or living room. This piece of furniture is very stylish, modern and most importantly comfortable as it handles the task of accommodating a large number of guests. In order not to spoil the interior design and make the use of the bar counter comfortable, it is necessary to choose the right chairs for it.

Special features
The difference between the bar and related furniture is its height. Initially, this furniture was only used in recreation areas, bars and clubs. At the long, large table, it was more convenient for visitors to communicate with each other and place orders.

Over time, models of shelves and chairs from restaurants and bars began to move into private homes and apartments. In the beginning it was very expensive, not everyone had access to pleasure. Such pieces of furniture were adorned in elite kitchens and living rooms of wealthy homes. In recent years, this style of furniture has become popular and accessible to almost everyone. Convenience and elegant beautiful views from tall bar stools have been appreciated by many apartment and home owners.



However, the living room or kitchen of the house does not always have an area large enough to accommodate several chairs. In this regard, furniture manufacturers and designers have found the buyer by offering a variety of folding bench models.

The following advantages of using folding benches can be highlighted:

Convenience of storage due to the possibility of folding the structure. The possibility of compact storage is particularly relevant for small apartments. In the folded state, chairs can be stored in the pantry, closet, balcony, under the bed or on the mezzanine. If necessary, just take the right amount of chairs, spread them out and place them on the bar counter.



Beautiful and elegant appearance. Bar furniture models are very diverse. Material, color, design and decoration can be chosen for every taste. The main thing when choosing is not to neglect the overall style and interior of the room, so that the chairs do not become unsuitable for your details. Your guests will undoubtedly appreciate your taste and creativity in the design of the living room or kitchen. .
Durability, long life. Modern materials and processing technologies make it possible to create solid and durable furniture. Bar stools are mainly designed for use in mass visiting places and use and therefore the use of the house especially will last a long time and flawlessly.

Materials
As in the manufacture of other types of furniture for bar models, various materials are also used.

Different types of wood
Wood is a classic material for the manufacture of all types of furniture. His products have beautiful appearance, nice natural coloring. Wooden chairs fit well in any interior. Also, this material is very durable.

Due to heavy loads, wooden bar stools are made from especially durable wood species such as oak, hornbeam. However, don't be afraid that such models are too heavy and heavy. Wood lends itself well to processing and turning, so wood models look elegant and are not overly heavy.

A folding chair made of wood will fit especially well inside a Provencal-style living room or in a stylish dining room like a pub.




plastic artificial wicker
Plastic options, perhaps the most common ones for use in cafes, at home, at a picnic or garden. This material is not subject to external influences such as temperature and humidity. Durable plastic furniture and unpretentious care.

Plastic models are very rich in a variety of colors, shapes, styles and decor. Bright colors and elegant appearance always become the decor of a room's interior.

Particularly notable are the artificial rattan models. Its appearance mimics a natural wicker chair or stool.

It should be noted only one weak side of the plastic folding models. Due to the fact that the legs of bar stools are slim and elegant, this furniture can support a load of no more than 100 kg. If this mass is exceeded, the slender legs may simply scatter under the weight of the seated person.




If in your case excessive loads on the chair are possible, it is better to choose a model not on several legs, but on a wide support in the center.

Models combined in metal frame
Often bar furniture, including chairs, are made of a metal frame. Strong metal legs, do not bend and do not scatter. The graceful chrome legs look elegant and beautiful, and the coating creates additional protection against possible corrosion.

The back, arms and seats on these models are made of soft materials. They can be made of plastic, wood, upholstered with fabrics or artificial leather.




Construction
Folding bench models ​​can vary not only by the type of material they are made of, but also have structural features.




As the chair's function is the convenient and safe maintenance of the session, pay attention to the base of the model. A folding stool with four or three legs will be more stable, in addition to the slim and elegant legs that make the model look very beautiful.

At the base of the model, there may be a wide leg in the center. This option is considered a classic because the history of bar furniture began with a backless swivel stool on a thick leg. When folded, models with a single wide base may be less compact.




But the back undoubtedly makes the chair more comfortable to use. For conversation and a glass of wine, it's always convenient to lean on the soft support surface. Besides the chair with a back it looks a little more solid, than a simple stool with a seat.

The folding bar chair design can also include armrests, a comfortable footrest, extra soft pillows, removable covers. These additions make using furniture more comfortable. Often the design of the chair includes a height adjustment element. The gas lift mechanism allows you to adjust the landing height very quickly and effortlessly.

Tips for choosing
Choosing folding bar chairs, you should pay attention to the following recommendations:

When choosing a group of bars, you must first determine the bar itself. The parameters of the rest of the group, including the chairs, will depend on their style, size and height. Selecting and installing the table, measure its height and take these measurements when choosing chairs.



Don't forget the unity of the interior style and its details.Folding bar stools are elegant and beautiful. But if they are not relevant to the existing design options, the impression of them and the entire interior will be ruined.
When choosing wooden models, carefully inspect the entire structure. All surfaces must be well sanded and varnished. Chips, abrasions, cracks, even small ones are not allowed. The structure will be heavily loaded, and the battered wood may crack or bend.
Check that the folding mechanism works well and does not stick together. Feel free to fold and fold each chair multiple times.



Estimate the number of chairs in advance and select a place to store them. Although the folded designs are compact enough, they still need some storage space.
If the chair has multiple legs, make sure they are the same size. The difference of one of them by at least a few millimeters will lead to unpleasant oscillation and instability of the structure during use.
Try to buy furniture from reliable ​​and trustworthy ​​manufacturers who have proven themselves in the market and have positive reviews about their products.

Materials

•     2 square wicker baskets 31 cm long, 31 cm wide and 31 cm high
•     1 selected pine panel, 2.50 cm by 31 cm by 8 meters
•     1 selected pine panel, 2.50 cm by 5.10 cm by 8 meters
•     white primer
•     Glossy or semi-glossy white paint
•     1 box finishing nail
•     1 pillow, 61cm long by 30cm wide
•     4 feet of solid wood

Instructions

    cut the wood

    Using the circular saw and wearing ear and eye protection, cut two pieces of pine board 2.5 cm by 31 cm by 8 meters. Each piece must be 66 centimeters long. Then cut three more pieces, each a foot long. Leave that aside for now.

•     Create the cutouts for the side pieces

    Two of the 12-by-1-inch pieces cut earlier will have smaller square cutouts cut out in the center. These cutouts are for aesthetic purposes only. If desired, you can leave the side pieces solid.

    Draw a smaller square with the Square of Speed, leaving two inches of wood around the perimeter. Cut out this center with the puzzle.

•     Build central bank support

    Construct the basic shape of the bench with the two 66 cm pieces and the other 31 cm pieces. With the materials set aside, center the solid 31cm piece directly in the middle of the two 66cm pieces: in the center at 33cm. Add a thin drop of wood glue. Nail in place.

•     Build the bench side pieces

    With the materials still set aside, add a thin layer of glue and place the two 12-inch cut-out pieces at each end, stepping back 2.5 cm each for a polished look. Nail in place. Fasten together with wooden clips. Allow the glue to cure for two hours.

•     add stool feet

    Turn the bench upside down. Screw the four wooden bench legs into place. It may be necessary to create pilot holes before screwing in the feet.

•     Measure the cushion rails
•     Nail the three cushion rails into place on top of the storage bench

 

    Remove the wooden clamps and stand the bench upright. Place the cushion on top of the bench. Use the cushion as a reference point to mark measurements for the board rail one by two. Generally, this will be 64 centimeters for the rear grille, with two side pieces that are about 30 centimeters each. As pillows vary slightly in size, these rails must be cut to accommodate the pillow.
   
Taper side cushion rails

    Cut the three rails from the pillow to the right size. Set the long piece aside. With the miter saw, taper the ends of the two side rails. This is done to make them more attractive and to smooth out sharp, angular edges.
   
Build pad rails

    Nail the three cushion rails into place on top of the storage bench. Be sure to back off the cushion rails slightly (provided there is enough space due to the cushion) to give the seat a cleaner look.
   
Sand the storage bench

    Place #220 grit sandpaper on the oscillating sander. Wearing ear and eye protection, sand the wood well in all visible areas. Sand towards the grain. On the cushion rails, sand the sharp edges and corners for comfort.
   
clean the bench

    Use the tack cloth to gently scrub the storage bench. Do not press hard on the tack cloth or you run the risk of sticking beeswax into the wood. Continuously expose new, fresh areas of the tack cloth for better adhesion.
   
Paint Storage Countertop

    As the countertop is made of pine board, which is highly porous, primer is required. With the brush, paint the worktop with two coats of primer, letting the primer dry for two hours between each coat. When the primer is cured, paint the countertop with at least two coats of semi-gloss or gloss acrylic latex paint.
