Well at first I was thrilled to have been featured on Apartment Therapy... but wow! Some of your comments are harsh! THANK YOU to everyone for your nice remarks. For those of you upset that I painted the piece, I supposed I should have included more "before" pics in my original post. The base of the bench is constructed of about 15 year old 2x4's and dirty plywood. It was far from glamorous or "aged beauty". It was more like a 1990s garage build that'd had potting soil thrown on it and some car grease. None the less, we are all allowed our own opinions!

The workbench has been perfect so far. You're right - it's not a spot where you'd want to sit for hours, but that's fine by me. I have a tendency to stand while I make things... and as a workbench, it was never intended for sitting.

Thanks Apartment Therapy for featuring my bench! If anyone wants the full story, feel free to read it here:
