What a genius reuse of an old chair.   A swing.  From Inspired Clutter.  No instructions, just eye candy.  How hard could it be though.  Looks like two holes are drilled in the front and the rope threaded through there and two holes on the back, same thing.  Doesn't look that hard to do.

  6. Rest easy about it. Worrying isn't going to change anything. If it's meant to be it will be. If not three is something better coming your way.
