I spent a lot more time on this than I was planning, but wanted to make a couple of enhancements and one thing led to another. I added curves to many of the pieces and there are some mortise and tenons here and there. Note the perpendicular arrangement between the front and the back legs. The front supports the wide arms, while the backs have let ins to support the main weight. All the 2x wood from Lowes was planed down a tad to clean up the faces and sharpen up the corners. We are thrilled with the result!

RE: Plans for sofa and chairs
Thank you for the kind words.
I actually did my own design using Solidworks. In the shop, I read the measurements I need directly off the model using the e-drawings viewer, so I don't really have "plans" in the traditional sense.

Plans for Sofa and Chairs
Great Job with the outcome. We are first timers and have built just 1 chair based on Ana White’s original plan. Lot of decisions with cushions & stain type etc but fun & satisfying though.
