[CAUT] Artist bench

[Anne Acker]

You could just buy a complete new decent quality mechanism from Jansen and do a transplant.   

Better yet, be strong and tell them they need to get benches that will stand up to the students and remind them they are paying you significant money to repair the crummy ones.  Pennywise pound foolish.
