A DIY chair’s instructions are just as significant as the design of the DIY chair itself. The DIY Chair by Max Lamb, designed in 2008, is one of the more modern DIY chairs around, mainly because of the way Max chose to communicate the process of making the chair. The simple step-by-step method that he employed meticulously controls the process of production with detailed notes. The simple but time consuming assembly process takes up to 4 hours to complete. Parts cost under 50 USD on average.

One thought on “DIY Chair”

  1. Any tips for drilling holes in tight corners? I ended up deconstructing -> drilling -> reconstructing segments.

    Maybe I need a smaller drill!
