I made these for my granddaughter. I was using fours colors instead of three so used 1x6's instead of 1x8's on for the table top and just added one more back slat to each chair.
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Used exterior satin enamel paint and exterior screws so it can used inside and out. Painted all the chair slats and underside of the table top prior to assembly of the table and chairs. Required some sanding after filling screw holes but it was easy to touch up. Painted the chair and table base after assembly but before slats and top were attached. Attached table top and then sanded from 60 to 120 sandpaper so it would smooth for drawing and coloring and then painted the top of the table top.
