Description

Low bench with a seat made from a recycled drawer front. The bench seat is rectangular and in the center of one long edge is a keyhole. There are two wood plugs at the center of the face set one to each side, which were once holes for drawer pulls. At each corner there is a wood plug. Connecting the two plugs on each short side is a rectangular wooden block on the underside of the seat. Set into each rectangular block are two legs which kick out to the long sides and grow in diameter as they near the ground.
