My wife came home from walmart one day with a set of wooden crates. With her "babeee, I wantttt..." face, she said she wanted me to create her a set of nightstands with a farmhouse rustic twist. So I put on my hunny-do gloves and got to work.

Start with staining the boxes in the desired color using a stain rag or brush.

Gluing Crates Together

apply a small amount of wood glue on one stained crate (this will now be referred to as your bottom crate)

Stacking Crates

Stack your other crate on top of the crate with glue, and place the clamps onto them, this will help to hold them together while the glue dries

Decorate and Enjoy!
