Mine is also up against a wall so it had to be wider to be comfortable. Good luck with the project. Send me a link or picture if you post it up. Love seeing everyone's projects in their own spaces. krisel keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680952549097890392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222083042436084027.post-39616626573883996772013-01-17T15:14:23.523-08:002013-01-17T15:14:23.523-08:00I love your bench project! it is exactly what I a...I love your bench project! it is exactly what I am looking for to build a bench for our porch.

When you get one of these reclaimed pieces of wood they have a patina all their own and often it doesn't come out until you sand. Good luck and enjoy making it! It was fun for me!<br /><br />McCranberry:<br />Yes, I did use the 12" legs because the wood is 2" thick so the bench ended up being 14" high. I didn't want it much higher so my 2-year old could hop up to put on her shoes.krisel keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680952549097890392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222083042436084027.post-65969271045717376502010-04-28T10:26:53.313-07:002010-04-28T10:26:53.313-07:00Hi, great DIY project!

I don't see them on their website anymore. I happen to have the packaging still and it says "Millex". They're made in Denmark. Since I can't find them online here is the sku number from the CS's price tag: 10033749, should you want to track them down.krisel keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680952549097890392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222083042436084027.post-60254073886685948252010-04-14T23:24:08.625-07:002010-04-14T23:24:08.625-07:00Thanks!
