So here's another version (necessitated by a move).

There's always lots of scrap wood in our neighborhood the day before trash pickup and recently I grabbed a pile of old barn wood, a 4x8 sheet of OSB and 3 landscape timbers:

This thing came together like most things I make - spontaneously - and it seems like it came together pretty well:
Here's the basic bench base:

Here's the OSB cut to fit with a bit of overhang:

I used some salvaged 1/2's to stabilize the legs near the bottom of the base. Next will be to put a shelf on the bottom and then paint the whole works.....
