    wow it's in pretty bad shape. If I had to do any work on mine, I would replace the side cloth with wood. it's going to add some weight but I would do cherry stain top and sides.

    Looks like you're doing wood side rails for them. I think that's a good idea. Sometimes I wish I had done that on mine (I suppose I still could).
