Adorable hand-painted wood furniture turns a play area into a work of art. This table measures 12”W x 12”D x 26”H. Chair seats are 14” high. The legs are wider at the bottom to give extra stability to squirmy kids. Nontoxic water-based paints are applied over sanded and primed base coast. The furniture is then finished with 4 coats of water-based polyurethane gloss varnish that can stand up to play-tea spills and other childhood messes. Each piece is handpainted by the artist, Hillary James, without the use of patterns or stencils. The two chairs can be ordered as either “student” style or solid back. Other chairs are also available.
