These tall pub chairs look great, whether you have them sitting at a counter or pair them with a pub table (which we’ll show you in another project plan).

Before you start building your Pub Chairs, take a look at the parts list, the supplies, and the cutting diagram. All are shown for building one chair. You’ll need to multiply everything by the number of chairs you want to build. Once you have all of your quantities, you can get your materials.
Cut four Foot Rails to size from a 2 x 2 board, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket hole jig set for 1 1/2" material, drill pocket holes in these pieces where shown.
Cut four Legs to size from a 2 x 2 board, as shown in the cutting diagram.
Cut two Back Slats to length from a 1 x4 board, and then cut two Back Supports to length from a 2 x 2 board, as shown in the cutting diagram. Drill pilot holes through the Back Supports where shown, and then attach the Back Supports to the Seat Slats with glue and 2" flathead wood screws, as shown.
Lay the Base on 1 1/2" spacers, add some glue to the spacer blocks and place the assembled back in position as shown. Drill pilot holes and secure the back to the frame with six 2 1/2" flathead wood screws.
Cut two Wide Seat Slats from a 1 x 8 board, and then cut two Narrow Seat Slats from a 1 x 2 board, as shown in the cutting diagram. On one Narrow Slat and one Wide Slat, cut out the notches with a jigsaw, as shown. These will fit around the Back Supports.
Once your chairs are assembled, you can give everything a final sanding. Then apply the stain or finish of your choice.
