How to Build an Outdoor Chair EASY | With Building Plans

Hey friends, remember that outdoor sofa I shared? Let's build the matching outdoor chairs!

This build will probably look pretty familiar--at least for the first part. Since these chairs and the sofa are a matching set, they're built very similarly. But these chairs are an even quicker and easier build ;)

I hope you enjoy watching them come together and if you want the plans to build your own, grab them below.
