artist bench

[Sarah Fox]

Hi Terry,

Not being able to afford a *nice* artist's bench, I bought one very similar 
to this.  (I suspect they're all made by the same company.)  Mine isn't 
leather, but genuine, top-grain Naugahyde.  It's a no-frills bench, medium 
comfortable, some assembly required (attach legs), sort of thing.  The 
polished finish has a rough spot or two, if you inspect it too closely, but 
it looks quite nice from a distance of at least arm's length.  It's quite 
typical of Chinese construction -- not the best quality, but functional. 
The rubber feet are annoying, but they're easy to replace.  I'd definitely 
recommend it for anyone not made of money.  Lots of bang for the buck.

Don't feel rushed to buy it.  There are lots of 'em out there.  I bought 
mine a year ago.

Peace,
Sarah
