Paint? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concerning the design. How far are the legs inset under the seat? It looks to me like they are in a fair amount. One foot. So a person, child, sitting on the end of the bench could tip the whole thing up like a teeter totter. I realize its too late to move the legs outward more. But maybe its not too late to trim the ends of the bench off a few inches so there is less overhang.
