Looks really good, Isaac ! I remember you saying you were going to make a few of these so I wanted to make a suggestion for your next one. When you wedge the tenons make sure the wedges run perpendicular to the grain, not parallel to it. Typically that's the way it's done to avoid splitting the grain.

Thanks, you are referring to grain of the seat, right? I'll add it to my list. I think next time I'll match the tenon wood to the leg wood, instead of the contrast.
