When is a bench not a bench? When it is 3 chairs.

When is a bench not a bench? When it is 3 chairs.
I was delighted to see this title on Jackie's blog
because one of the favorite benches I built was from 3 chairs. 

I ran a post about it about 2 years ago but thought newcomers would like to see it...

Repeat post from March 2009:  This "bench" is actually 3 chairs held together with pipe clamps. Again the chairs were thrift store finds and classic "70s" Mediterranean complete with ugly plastic upholstered seats and back inserts which were trashed and replaced with boards I painted.... I do not leave this outside. It is in a workroom in the barn and on occasions such as a garden party it is pulled out. If I had a house with a large entry it would be perfect.... Right now it is piled high with fabric. (This photo was taken by friend and garden photographer, Charles Mann and was in Better Homes and Garden magazine 3/2003)
