On a recent visit to York in Western Australia, our busload of people had a very enjoyable lunch at White Gum Farm which also has an airstrip and a number of private planes.
The ‘swimming pool’ was actually a dam but was nicely fenced and had a diving board and an area for tables and chairs. Being winter, the area was bare. The restaurant was quite elegant and I was intrigued by the chairs by the outside bar.
They are made from old oil drums, have sturdy legs, cushions and the sharp edges are covered. I was reminded of comfy chairs we saw at the Bushmills Whisky factory in northern Ireland. The chairs were made from small barrels and fitted with cushions.

That's true. Some items can have any number of lives.

@JudyEv Some years it's slow to arrive. Other times hot air arrives with a vengeance.

You're right, those are interesting chairs. (I wonder how much trouble they have with people picking the coverings off the sharp edges. That would be a worry to me.)

The chairs look nice. The one who made them is very creative. And that's what we call recycling :)

It is a great way to make use of the chair backs.

It would look out of place in some situations but it is perfectly at home here.

I didn't sit in them but I'm sure they would be quite comfortable.
