Good day
My wife wanted me to build her a chair so she could sit outside and watch our daughter while playing on the jungle gym.
So she search the internet for picture of chairs and found your plans. And handed me the plans.
This is the product of the plan.
Thanks, she is so impressed with the results that it has ended in the entrance hall of the house.
Kind Regards Ian Stanley
