Instead of 2x2x8 I bought 2x4x8 KD studs and cut down to match the size of the 1x2 pine boards. The 2x2 comes out much cleaner looking this way and not so ragged as the store bought 2x2 looked. On the 2x4 uprights I trimmed the rounded edges off so that the 2x2 angle pieces sat "square" against them and did not leave a gap between the rounded outer edge of the 2x4 and the flat surface of the 2x2 3.

Set up a jig to cut all the 2x2's!!! So important!!! Painted the bottom and made some distressing marks on the boards and the edges of the bottoms painted, sanded some edges, used minwax marker to darken. Hi Ana, great bench! Since the table will end up being around 87", I think I'd like to modify the bench top to be 83" so it is closer to the length of the table top with a couple of inches at each end.

Wood will move slightly regardless of what you do. Pressure treated lumber is normally the wettest when you use it. Sounds like after a month or so the pressure treated lumber dried out slightly causing the wood to move a bit.

Regardless, you have a couple options. You could determine how much one leg is elevated off the ground when the other three are flat and remove that much material from the closest leg.

Or you can drill a hole in the bottom of the leg and use a small galvanized lag screw to level the foot from below. Just built two of the benches and a backless version, too.

Looks really good and is rock solid. Thanks for the design and great instructions. Next project will be to follow the same kind of design and build a matching table.
