    20161224_104230_resized_1.jpg Anyone ever seen one of these? My mom had found it about 20 years ago when my kids were young. Looking at cleaning up the wood and replacing all the lost bolts and screws for my grand daughter. Figured I would see who made it but I can't find anything.

    This has the earmarks of being a fairly modern import. Still a nice bench with great motif and perfect for a child.

    Deryk, thanks to a very talented Grandpa, my sisters & I had a lot of "kid-sized" furniture way-back-when, but I'll tell you, I would have LOVED to have had that bench!

    Thanks for the replies. Here it is refinished. Sanded the wood just enough to get the old finish off then restrained and lacquered it. Replaced all the bolts since I couldn't find anything matching the originals.
