Nice build, I made one some years ago with a lower seat. Now after several knee surguries I have too much difficluty getting up. Your project has inspired me to replace it with another more along the lines of yours. The last picture is obviously the money shot. Well done.

Very nice. I especially like the front legs - nice detail. I'd like to build one too, but first I need a proper English garden!
