I looked around for a set of chairs to complete it but didn&#8217;t see anything for under $350, more than three times the cost of the table. It only seemed appropriate to go ahead and build a set of chairs in a style complementing the table. I looked around at a few woodworking sites for ideas and found <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/thediyplan.com\/farmhouse-chair\/\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a>. It was designed by someone who had built a similar table following plans from the same two women at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shanty-2-chic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shanty-2-Chic<\/a>, who designed the table.  I made several changes to how I assembled my chairs and instead of upholstering the chairs, I created a flat seat from 1\u00d73 boards and relied on store-bought cushions for comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cut List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The list below gives all the boards needed to make four chairs total. The <em>Cut List<\/em> figure shows from where each piece is cut. The local big box store was out of 2\u00d73 boards, so I ended up purchasing 2\u00d74s instead and ripping them down after cutting the front legs to length. I took great care in selecting <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quarter_sawing\" target=\"_blank\">quarter-sawn<\/a> boards for the 1\u00d73s for the extra strength and reduced warping tendency when gluing up the chair seats. In all it was around $140 in lumber. I used screws, glue, and biscuits left over from the table build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>(4) 2\u00d76\u00d7104-5\/8&#8243; construction grade boards<\/li><li>(2) 2\u00d73\u00d78&#8242; construction grade boards<\/li><li>(1) 1\u00d74\u00d78&#8242; select pine boards (s4s)<\/li><li>(13) 1\u00d73\u00d78&#8242; select pine boards (s4s)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list-920x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1127\" width=\"266\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list-920x1024.jpg 920w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list-768x855.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/00-simple-dining-chair-cut-list.jpg 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chair Seats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is probably best to start by cutting all 24 of the 19-1\/2&#8243; long boards that will make up the chair seats. Six boards are edge-glued together with biscuit joints as shown in the following diagram and photos. I cut these boards about 1\/4&#8243; longer than necessary so I could trim them flush after gluing them up. In hindsight, if making these chairs again I would cut them to 20&#8243; final width, since 20&#8243; wide cushions are readily available at any garden center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base-1024x895.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1123\" width=\"478\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base-1024x895.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base-768x671.png 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/07-simple-dining-chair-seat_base-1536x1342.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Take care in selecting boards that are true with minimal cupping and warping.  If you chose <em>select<\/em> or S4S boards this should be easy. Also, be sure the endgrain changes direction from one board to the next, as shown here. It is not as critical with these quarter-sawn boards but doing this will minimize cupping down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/08-seat-board-alignment-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"seat board alignment\" class=\"wp-image-1096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/08-seat-board-alignment-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/08-seat-board-alignment-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/08-seat-board-alignment-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/08-seat-board-alignment.jpg 1418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Seat Board Alignment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the boards laid out, mark the locations for the biscuit cuts and number them to make it easy to keep them in order. Cut all the slots and then glue everything up. I used a large carpenter square to keep one edge straight while gluing, reducing the number of cuts I would have to make when trimming them to final size later. I used two parallel-bar clamps on the ends to squeeze the boards together and clamped two straight 2\u00d74 scraps down the middle on each side to keep the boards flat, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"968\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering.jpg\" alt=\"Numbering seat boards\" data-id=\"1098\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/10-seat-board-numbering\/\" class=\"wp-image-1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering.jpg 968w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/10-seat-board-numbering-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Numbering the Seat Boards<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1008\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square.jpg\" alt=\"Squaring the seat boards\" data-id=\"1097\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/09-seat-board-square\/\" class=\"wp-image-1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/09-seat-board-square-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Squaring the Seat Boards<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1008\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up.jpg\" alt=\"seat board glue-up\" data-id=\"1099\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/11-seat-board-glue-up\/\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/11-seat-board-glue-up-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Seat Board Glue-Up<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Chair Seat Glue-up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the seats have dried, sand both sides smooth and then trim the seats to the final 19-1\/2&#8243; (or 20&#8243; if you want to fit most off-the-shelf cushions). Cut out the notches for the rear support legs as shown in the diagram (correcting the measurements for 20&#8243; if necessary) with a small saw or backsaw. Sand the ends smooth and round over the edges by hand using a palm sander, round-over trim router, round-over plane, or whatever your favorite method is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the seats are drying you should next cut out all the boards for the chair support backs.  It is crucial that you cut all of the diagonal boards the exact same way. They will fit to form a nice &#8220;X&#8221; between two stretchers that will fit between the upright back supports (see diagram at top). The patterns for the cross pieces and the stretchers are shown here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-1024x589.jpg\" alt=\"back support cross pieces\" data-id=\"1091\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/print-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-1024x589.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/03-simple-dining-chair-cross-pieces-1536x884.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Back Support Cross Pieces<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"696\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-1024x696.jpg\" alt=\"aprons and seat back stretchers\" data-id=\"1092\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/print-3\/\" class=\"wp-image-1092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/04-simple-dining-chair-aprons-stretchers-2048x1393.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Aprons and Seat Back Stretchers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The original design called for gluing the cross pieces together and attaching them to the stretchers using 2&#8243; finish nails shot in diagonally from the outside.

legs, seat aprons, and lower stretchers\u2014given in the diagrams below. After cutting out the aprons (diagram above) and lower stretchers, drill the pocket holes in them, as shown in the accompanying photos. For this I used the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kregtool.com\/store\/c13\/kreg-jigsreg\/p522\/kreg-pocket-hole-jig-320\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 320<\/a> because I already had it and because the dual-unit is perfect for quickly centering the jig on the aprons, clamping, and drilling. The jig splits into two separate single-hole jigs for use on drilling pocket holes in either end of the stretchers. <strong>For the 19&#8243; stretchers with the 10\u00b0 angle<\/strong> you must pair up the stretchers before drilling your holes. Make sure you drill on whatever side is going to be the inside of the chair for each stretcher. Mark these pairs so you can keep track of them. The front\/back stretchers are interchangable so this isn&#8217;t critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chair Assembly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before assembling the chairs, sand all the pieces to your desired finish level. Since these are rustic and meant to remain outdoors, I stopped with 150-grit paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first time I have ever had to assemble something so complicated, requiring a lot of intermittent steps and clamping. If you are more experienced, you will probably know of an easier way to do this. I started by attaching two front leg pieces to the apron piece that goes between them. The aprons and stretchers are set back 3\/8&#8243; from the outside edge of the legs so I began by cutting two pieces of scrap material to exactly 3\/8&#8243; thick. This gives me spacers I can lay the aprons on while attaching them to the two legs using 2-1\/2&#8243; pocket hole screws. (The original design called for 1-1\/4&#8243; pocket hole screws and I discovered that this barely held the pieces together. There is no way the chairs would hold up over time.) The ends of the aprons were covered in glue first, then a parallel clamp was used to hold everything in position as the screws were driven in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After four front leg sections were assembled, I then attached the side aprons to them using a similar method. I set the apron on the 3\/8&#8243; spacers, coated the end that  would butt up against the front leg with glue, and then clamped them into place. 2-1\/2&#8243; pocket hole screws were then driven in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the glue had set on those assemblies, I could then attach the rear legs. This was the trickiest part of the build. On my work table I propped up one of the front leg assemblies on its side while placing my carpenter square against the front leg to show me where the bottom of the rear leg should be when in position. The side apron was resting on the 3\/8&#8243; spacer, glue was applied to the end and then it was pressed into the rear leg and clamped. 2-1\/2&#8243; pocket screws were then driven in. Attaching the the second rear leg was a bit more difficult as the other leg must then be propped up with some scrap wood. It is a bit unwieldy. Unfortunately I did not take photos of these steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rear apron was then easily glued and screwed into place. <strong>Note that there is no offset for this piece<\/strong>, due to the seat not extending far back enough. I would change this in a future build. The rear apron was attached flush to the inside edge of the rear legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assembly process thus far is shown in these diagrams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1129\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/?attachment_id=1129\" class=\"wp-image-1129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/25-simple-dining-chair-assembly-1.jpg 1380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Front Legs and Apron<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1130\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/?attachment_id=1130\" class=\"wp-image-1130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/26-simple-dining-chair-assembly-2.jpg 1357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Front Legs and Side Aprons<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"1018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/27-simple-dining-chair-assembly-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1131\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/27-simple-dining-chair-assembly-3.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/?attachment_id=1131\" class=\"wp-image-1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/27-simple-dining-chair-assembly-3.jpg 796w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/27-simple-dining-chair-assembly-3-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.davidgunter.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/27-simple-dining-chair-assembly-3-768x982.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Rear Legs and Rear Apon Attached<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attach the Seats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The seats are easily attached from three sides with 1-1\/4&#8243; pocket hole screws through the side and front aprons.
