The outdoor seat I made to go with the super nice cushions found thrown out, not a thing wrong with them.

made this today, completely free except the screws lol. The cushions were thrown out in rich neighborhood, 2 pallets, cut up garden timber, an old door frame, and a bamboo blind also found. The paint was a leftover from a friend.
