Once Club member Scott Wallraff completed the weekend-getaway cottage that he designed and built with his wife, Cathy, and their daughter, Mary, he knew it was time for a new project: replacing the metal folding chairs with comfy, complementary indoor seating. Besides matching the cabin’s North Woods aesthetic, the new chairs needed to be attractive and sturdy yet swift to assemble and easy on the wallet. Scott did such a great job on all counts that we asked him to share his design with HANDY readers.

Using dimensional pine, Scott designed the chairs’ simple parts to be assembled as four basic units for quick, modular construction. That efficiency, along with the casual look of an Adirondack/Morris chair hybrid, makes this a great addition to any getaway spot — whether it’s a cabin, a deck or your backyard.
