It's only 10" but it was good to start with (and start over again with :p ) and it doubles as a bathroom footstool for the kids. I need to build a higher one now. It doesn't need to be huge or fancy, just sturdy. __________________ Diane It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand.
