{"product_id":"giant-shrek-throne","title":"Giant Shrek Throne — Hand-Carved Oak","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Giant Shrek Throne is a hand-carved solid oak throne with Shrek himself carved into the backrest — a fairy-tale chair for the greatest of all modern fairy tales, built for schools, gardens, storytelling spaces and anyone who believes that donkeys can talk and swamps can be magical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShrek is one of the great story structures of our time — the reluctant hero, the journey, the dragon, the rescued princess who turns out to be exactly who she needs to be. All of that is in this chair. The carvings are cut by hand in our Mid Wales workshop from solid Welsh oak, and the chair is built with the kind of joinery that lasts decades in outdoor settings. It's big enough to be a genuine visual statement in any garden, library corner or school playground. And the children who sit in it will know, without being told, that something special is about to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Solid hand-built joinery throughout.

Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time and asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"FreeRangeDesigns","offers":[{"title":"Unvarnished","offer_id":53500128231799,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1358","price":1580.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Varnished (+£50)","offer_id":57213683237239,"sku":"FRD-BEN-WD-1358","price":1607.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/7673\/1729\/files\/giant-shrek-throne-2908731.jpg?v=1759412352","url":"https:\/\/freerangingdesigns.com\/en-fr\/products\/giant-shrek-throne","provider":"FreeRangeDesigns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
