Popular Post Pat Meeuwissen Posted September 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Good morning, this tall cafe chair is my prototype. I plan on adding a stretcher between the legs at the bottom just ran out of time. It will be painted so I used all reclaimed material. Do you see any improvements or suggestions? It sits very comfortably and is just the right height for the table. Cal, Grandpadave52, HARO50 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Meeuwissen Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 of course buddy. Was thinking of doing kind of an arch to add a little flair. Harry Brink, Artie, Cal and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had mentioned painting it, it really looks cool as is Pat. HARO50, Artie and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Fine looking chair, Pat. Those stretchers will be an interesting install. What's your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyDan Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I agree with John. Looks good as is and painting between all those slats will be a nightmare. Artie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadio Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I Really like that design, and the foot rest is a neat idea. You did an excellent job too. I agree with painting it now, a lot of slots to paint, maybe you can sub it out to the wifey to paint.

After pondering on it and looking again, I agree with those that suggest leaving the random colored re-purposed wood look. Makes it very unique and eye catching. FWIW, the only change I'd suggest is modifying the arms (at least one) to incorporate a beverage holder. Artie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danl Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Design consideration: Perhaps titling the arm rest down 3 degrees in the back. Danl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danl They do tilt toward the rear already, my wife who is 5' 10" said it was just right for her. I think a chair like this will have many considerations depending on who sits in it.
