We used 2x4 to make the chair more sturdy. We also kept with the original plans and did not alter them to fit the cushions. We felt changing the dimensions altered the look of the chairs. And the cushions look perfect in the chairs.  We were also building the chairs to sit around our fire pit, so we added 6" 4x4 legs to keep the bulky look. We used Ebony stain. We also made an 8'x3' planter box (see pic). We are beginners with no wood working experience at all and we nailed it! So, don't be intimidated by the plans. After the first chair, they all went together smoothly.
