If possible, take off the window sill before attaching the besta box frame for a better fit.

Next, measure out where the electrical box extender should be placed.

After this, secure the cabinets together.

Building the frame of the besta drawers

Pre-drilled a hole and screw everything together.

Repeat this process for each of the cabinets.

Next, for framing the top, attach 1x4s to the 2x4s.

Painting the window seat

(ensure to pre-drill all of your holes so you dont split the wood.)

After this, implement the besta drawer hardware in each box as well as the besta drawer frame.

Finish the top of the window seat with three 3/4 plywood and glue it all together with construction adhesive.

After all the trim work is done, fill the brad nail holes with wood filler.

Once it dried, sand it down.

(Also sand down the cabinet doors, prime them, then paint.)
