Childs stackable chairs possible adult size

Submitted by Mr Green on Mon, 11/08/2010 - 05:33

Hi,

 

Wondered if the childs stackable chairs could be made adult size?

Seat height and back would not be an issue but would timber sizes need to be enlarged too?

Am needing four chairs for a table I recently made

I was wondering this too.  With thanksgiving coming up, it sure would be nice to have chairs for all of our guests to eat at tables rather than having some be forced to eat on their laps on the couch.

I was wondering about this as well.  1x2's wouldn't be enough to support bigger adults, I don't think.  So you'd have to use 2x2's instead for the legs.

Was thinking along the lines of using 1x3 for legs, could then angle top supports for us old ones backs

Agree that 1x2 would not give the support or look we need

They would do the job, only I wanted to keep them as simple as possible as the childs seat is
