Much better than paying a fortune to buy them, or buying cheap ones that don't hold up!1×6 @ 3 feet long 1 – 2×2 @ 8 feet long 1 – 1×4 @6 feet long 1 – 1×2 @ 8 feet long 1 – 2×4 @ stud or 8 feet length 1 – 1/2″ scrap plywood for seat top, 19″ x 19″ 1 yard of fabric 1 piece of foam, 19″ x 19″ 1″ thick 1 1/4″ pocket hole screws 2 – 2×4 @ 38 1/4″ (Chair back legs) 2 – 1×4 @ 17 1/2″ (Side Aprons) 2 – 2×2 @ 17 1/4″ (Front Legs) 2 – 1×4 @ 16″ (Front/Back Aprons) 4 – 2×2 @ 4″ (Supports – both ends cut at 45 degrees off square, NOT parallel to each other) 1 – 1×2 @ 16″ (Seat Back Top) 2 – 1×6 @ 16″ (Seat Back) 2 – 1×2 @ 19″ (Longest point, one end cut at 8 degrees off square)
1 – 1×2 @ 16 3/4″ (Center Support) 1/2″ plywood @ 19″ x 19″ (Seat top) If you follow these steps carefully, you can cut back legs that are straight and symmetrically to each other. Mark the legs as shown in the diagram. The front – where the chair leg connects to the side aprons – needs to be cut in 1/4″ to account for rounded edges on 2x4s. The goal is to make as many cuts as possible with a circular saw, but you will need to finish inside cuts on the back with a jigsaw. Follow the diagram above carefully. I advise taking the scrap piece of 2×4 and cutting a leg first from it to get some practice. Once your legs are cut, lay them together, and check to make sure that the top, bottom and front sides all match. The other parts are not as significant. Sand your cuts smooth. Attach the side aprons to the back legs, flush to the bottom of the front cuts on your chair back legs. Make sure the two leg pieces still match up – if not, your chair is going to be crooked!
Attach the front legs to the side aprons as shown above. The tops are flush, and your chair part should match up at this point. Attach the front and back aprons, carefully predrilling. I used pocket hole screws and glue. The cross supports will not only add strength to your chair, but it gives you something to screw your seat to. Attach the seat back top as shown above. I used pocket holes from the back but you can also use predrilled screws from the legs. Attach as shown above. The base supports will add considerable strength to your chairs. Attach the base center to the sides as shown in the diagram above. Spray glue the seat cushion to the seat top plywood. Lay fabric facedown on table with seat top on top of fabric, foam side down. Staple fabric carefully to the underside of the chair, tucking corners neatly. Use 2″ screws to attach the seat to the cross supports or use pocket hole screws. This chair was painted with Valspar Antique White in Flat Enamel, three coats.
A top coat (Valspar satin finish poly) was added. The fabric is from Joanns, and is part of the Home Decorator’s 45″ wide fabric, and was on sale for $5 a yard. For a foam pad, I used a discarded chair pad cut to size. Total cost of this chair was under $20.Use one of these free dining room table plans to build a place for your family to gather, eat, and create memories.
