I bought, cut, and pre-drilled ALL of the wood to build a table, a bench, and 4 chairs.  That was 3 years and 2 kids ago and the pieces are still sitting in my garage... my husband is getting annoyed with all the lumber and (thanks to MMM) we are about to move again, into a house with a much smaller yard, ie no space for the lovely patio set I was going to build.  I would really love to see this wood go to good use.  All you would have to do is sand it, screw it together, and finish it.  We built one of the 4 chairs, and it has been on our deck for 3+ years and still holding up pretty well, I will include that so you have a complete set.  Here are the links to the plans for this:

The wood is S3S cedar - sanded on 3 sides, so one side is quite rough and I planned the drill holes to be hidden (used a kreg jig) and the roughest side is usually the bottom as I planned it.  You would just need to pick up the wood at my home in Denver, CO (non-negotiable, I cannot deliver or meet anywhere and won't consider shipping).  Cedar is nicer wood and ideal for using for outdoor furniture - as I recall it was a couple hundred or more for all the wood for this project.  I would like to get $100 for all the pieces but of course this is negotiable if no one shows any interest at this price.  Thanks for reading this far, I am really heartbroken to give up on this project and throw away all the time I've already invested in cutting and drilling, but it will help my marriage and free up my time for other projects.

Thanks for listing this! I'm nowhere near Denver, but I'm going to show these plans to my wife, and possibly build it over the Florida winter. I think it will work out great, just have to figure out the best wood to use for standing up to the harsh summers we have.
