We built furniture just because we liked the idea and it seemed like it wouldn't be too difficult but still shows that we put effort in while making it. We built it out of balsa wood, hot glue, then we painted it.

We then glued the bottoms of the chairs to the legs and put supports in between the legs for strength.

Backrest

We cut out all the pieces to build the backrest of the chair.
