I'm working on building a mudroom bench inspired by a YouTube video I saw, but I'm concerned about how the bench legs don't seem to have any support to prevent them from racking or tipping over. Can anyone explain how that setup might be stable?

It looks like the bench is probably attached to the wall studs, which helps stabilize it. Those horizontal pieces you see at the back are likely screwed in to keep everything secure. Also, just a heads up, the term 'racking' is more about twisting than just tipping over.
Exactly! Those back pieces are like support beams, helping prevent any movement.
