Cheryl,

It’s impossible for me to know the exact dimensions of this piece. It’s gone to a forever home. Your pieces might not be the same size as mine were. Typically kid’s seats are around 12″ off the ground. The seat pieces would depend on the length of your headboards after being connected. 🙂
I would love to see pictures of yours after you get it completed.

Lady Gail,
Is it possible for me to get a measurement and cut list of this wonderful project? We just moved and I’ve been holding onto these headboards (albeit my hubby’s consternation) forever…now i’m just itching to get this banquette set made for my lil bits. Please and Thank you in advance.

I absolutely LOVE this! The color too! I would actually love an adult sized for my kitchen. We have lived here over a year and the spot for a table has yet to be filled. This would be PERFECT. Would you make a bigger one the same way? Thanks.

Andrea,

I think it’s difficult to make any wood project last a LONG time outdoors. But if you take the proper steps, it will last quite a few years. I would use outdoor paint, possibly oil based. After letting it cure really well, I would use a good outdoor sealant like marine varnish. You will need to make sure you get every nook and cranny sealed to keep out the elements. I would also recommend putting the piece on concrete, not the ground. If you put it in the yard, use some pavers or stepping stones under each leg.
