I followed the instructions on the web site and on the you tube video. Overall, it was easy to build though I had to improvise and make my own 2x4s from 2x6s that I had available. I also changed the seat and back slats and used a local version of oak (1x6s). I made a mistake with the back supports and attached them flush with the floor and not with the stringers. Thus, the back rest is not as high, although I like it just the same. It is very sturdy and comfortable. I covered the screw heads, which I sunk with a deep countersink, with dowels.
