Whats a simple way to make a small garden/park bench?

Question

I want to make my mom one of those small garden/park benches for her birthday. She saw one before and she loved it. Its made of all wood, with (I think) wrought iron sides and legs. Its a very simple piece. Im not sure where or how to get the iron pieces though. I have searched online and all I can find is the bigger benches. What Im looking for is the type of bench that maybe children can sit on, but mostly for decoration. Its about 4 feet long at most and maybe 2 feet high? If anybody has any ideas, plans, or sites where I can copy one from I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much!

I don't know where you live but if you just check around at Wal-Mart , Home Depot or Lows and just about any other big box store you may find what you are looking for in the garden section. They are inexpensive under $160 for a really good one and like under $100 for a little bit lesser one. By the time you get the sides and buy the lumber and finish it you will probably spend that much plus your labor.
