Okay guys so I made this bench like 3 weeks ago and its holding up really nicely. I painted it myself and put a layer of clear on it as well. They look really cool for parks and look amazing for sessions because of bright color.

Im thinking about selling a few. Thinking about selling for $5 which will include 2 pairs of non-sliders.

Let me know if you will be interested, and I will post some on the Buy/Sell/Trade thread very happy

Oh and I also am going to be working on one that is about 2 inches longer than this one. Colors will be green, purple, orange, and maybe yellow.

Too small. Like the concept, seems unstructured and a bit slop.

I like the top look of it.

people can make this very easily themselves- people aren't gonna pay for something so unprofessionally done tbh.. sorry to be mean, but yea, better you hear it now than waste tons of money, push it, only to find no one wants popsicle stick benches. When you can get a professionally made bench for like 10 dollars, this seems like it wont do well.

A lot of kids wants to make companies and i guess its because they want to "be someone". Your popsickle bench is not a bad idea at all, actually i think there is a lack of that kind of things.

But it is what it is, homemade stuff. If you want to make something out of this i suggest you start making torturials/blueprints for simple DIY obstacles.

You could call it The Blueprint Blog or Popstacles, haha.

i think the Popsicle stick bench could work....

i actually like the look of the top of it...but the legs need work....like solid cut pieces of wood/or something else....because at the moment its not in the slightest professional looking.

if it had black granite blocks for legs, then the green painted Popsicle sticks, it could work.

Alright thanks for all the feedback everyone! Glad you all responded, means a lot. And just wanted to say one thing, Im not just a "kid" trying to make a company. I have no intentions of a company, this is just for fun! And also Im almost 17 so its not like im clueless happy

Thanks for all the feedback and keep checking back because I will be making a new bench soon that will be very professional. This honestly was an experiment and I think the turnout was decent. The legs were made out of popsicle sticks because I didn't have any thin wood at the time.

1) Make it bigger

2) Make it more professional, No one will buy a popsicle stick bench. You gotta make it way better. try to make it something like a bench from BRR but don't copy that bench completely. Hope this helped!
