Step 2

[14]

Back Tie In Remember the overhang from step 1? Well, your back tie inshould fit nicely in the space. Make sure you screw the arm rest to theback tie in and the tie in to the back legs (you will need to use 1 1/4″screws). Glue. UPDATED: For lesser of an incline, place this backsupport to the inside of the legs instead of to the outside. Some of ourreaders have said that this makes the chair more comfortable.

Step 4

[16]

Seat Frame and Sides Mark all of the legs 12 1/4″ from up from thebottom of the legs. This will be the mark where you seat frame sits onthe legs. Then screw your seat frame to the legs, as shown above. Usea level to make sure your seat frame is screwed on level to the legs.Use 3 screws per leg.

Step 10

[22]

Finishing Fill holes with water resistant filler (I like to use paintablesilicone) and finish as desired. The chair will fit a standard 20×20cushion, or similar sized cushion. Depending on the response to thisplan, I will post loveseat and couch plans as well.

One of the driving factors in how I design a furniture plan is Iimagine myself building it. It's not about just throwing up a plan. Iactually think, if I were building this, how can I make it cheaper, easier,how can you be more successful? You would be surprised at how manyplans don't make it to Knock-Off Wood because I don't feel "good" aboutposting it.

Take three, I think I've finally got it.

And when you redo a plan three times because you are not completelysatisfied with it, well, you end up organizing your sketchup file better,and that ends up with an easy to do video. Make sure you watch thevideo, it'll all make sense!

If you can't get the video to load, you can click here [24]to see it. Ipromise, it's worth your time if you are curious how this chair goestogether!

A couple of other items I wanted to be sure I covered when this chairwas built: I wanted you to be able to go to Target and buy cushionsthat fit [25], if you wanted to. This chair will fit a standard cushion sizedat 20" x 20". I wanted you to be able to build this in a loveseat size. And a couch size. Expect these plans soon (if I get good response tothis plan).

For inspiration, I looked to the West Elm Wood Slat Armchair [26] andthe Nantucket Collection from Restoration hardware, [27]but as youmay have noticed, Knock-Off Wood is becoming much less of aknock-off and more of a inspired handmade site, so this chair is

not an exact replica. Because to replicate either of those chairs, Iwould be forcing you to buy very expensive cushions, and my intentionis to keep your options open, not limit them.
