There's milk crates, and then there's Milk Crates.
The brands branded [is that where that term comes from?] on the sides of some of the crates used to make this old potty chair date to the turn of the last century.
This chair's survival is miracle enough, but the wood itself really has a rough hewn beauty to it. Not that "rough hewn" is a quality I would prize in a toilet seat.
