The Chairs

From the parts sheet, cut & remove parts G, H, I & J, as indicated in the photo right.

Glue & fit part G the chair shaft into the central hole on part H the legs. Allow time for the glue to set.

Glue & fit part I the chair seat on to part G the central shaft. Allow time for the glue to set.

Glue & fit part J the chair seat backrest on to the part I the chair seat. Allow time for the glue to set.

This concludes the assembly of the chairs.

You can add variety to some of the desks by only fitting one desk draw unit. In the photo right can be seen to desks, one with two draw units & the other with just one. 

To paint the desks & chairs, use acrylic paints. Here we’ve used Noch Paint pens which give a nice thin even coat of paint. Build up the layers of paint to achieve your desired requirements. 

This concludes this build & paint article.
