Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a physical product or a digital download?
You’re purchasing a downloadable PDF plan to build the chair yourself. No physical items are shipped.
Which measurement versions are available?
Choose Imperial (inches) or Metric (cm/mm). You’ll receive the PDF corresponding to your selection.
Is this suitable for my first woodworking project?
This is an intermediate project. The diagrams explain the assembly, but accurate cutting, alignment and hinge placement require care. If you’re unsure whether it suits your experience, contact me before purchasing.
Can I customize the dimensions?
Contact me before changing the dimensions. Resizing parts can affect the folding mechanism and stability, so changes need to be checked together.

I like the plan, I’d give you 5 stars if it said to buy (ie) perhaps buy 4 2x4’s 3 1x4’s ect. I know I could simply add the measurements up to determine that, but …..
