Default Plywood Thickness for chair seat?

"Toller" wrote in message

What do you mean slotted seat portion?


You simply cut multiple slots (front to back) about 1/4" - 1/2" wide and
maybe 8" - 10" long, where your buns would be.

This imitates, after a fashion, the webbing of a traditional horse hair
padded seat and does add a good deal of comfort.

Didn't know it was this complicated. Neither of my chair books got into
this. Thanks.


Welp ... it's where the rubber hits the road, in a manner of speaking, and
comfort is an important aspect of chair design.

If you don't want your guests to hang around after dinner, use thinly padded
3/4" plywood.
