Very nice. That would also make a nice bench for sitting to put your shoes on and storing hats, gloves, etc. You did a great job.

Beautiful job John! It is a great idea to use old bedframes that way. I had one made from an old iron bed.
I had someone weld it for me. The headboard is the back and the footboard is cut in half and made into the sides.
I just love it! Its all painted up and sitting by my garden. The morning glories are vining all over it.
I picked up an old wooden headboard now too, but it's a project on the back burner... too many projects ~ too little time.
Can't wait to retire :)

Great garden bench Nanaka,I love it, it looks like a factory made antique bench from the early 1900s.
