The final chair will be 19" wide by 21 1/2" deep and 22" tall. The seat is 14" wide by 11" deep and sits 10 3/4" off the ground. It's perfect for toddlers and kids.
Use wood glue and 1 1/2" pocket holes to attach the back legs to the arm boards. Attach them so they are 5 1/2" back from the front and flush with the inside of the board. Make sure the 2 legs are mirrored.
Drill pocket holes with the wood depth set for 1 1/2" wood in both ends of the 8 1/2" and 14" seat frame boards. Build the seat frame as shown in the diagram using wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket hole screws in the pocket holes on the 8 1/2" seat frame boards.
Attach the seat frame to the sides boards so the top is 10" off the ground and it is flush with the front of the front legs. Use wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket holes screws in the pocket holes drilled in the 14" seat frame boards.
Drill 2 pocket holes in each end of the 11" back frame boards with the depth set for 1 1/2" wood. Using wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket hole screws, attach it between the other back frame boards so it is flush with the top.
Sand and finish the chair. You will want to use paint, stain and/or sealer that is made for outdoor use.
