An armchair is one of the most comfortable, cozy, and therefore popular interior items. All chairs are usually divided into 2 categories: with or without a frame. The finished product is often not cheap. But for home craftsmen, nothing is impossible. A DIY chair is a completely solvable issue. In the article we will consider detailed master classes on production soft goods, as well as original wooden products for the dacha.

Types of upholstery

Upholstery for upholstered furniture is one of them important points. The presentable appearance of the product largely depends on it. Before making a chair, decide on the type of upholstery fabric. Here are the most popular options:

• Velours. Noble fleecy fabric reminiscent of short fur.
• Chenille. A fleecy, durable fabric made from a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers. Doesn't roll off and lasts a long time beautiful view.
• Flock. Externally, the material resembles velor, but is even more practical. Flock is easy to clean from dirt, so it is recommended to use it for upholstered furniture in children's rooms.
• Jacquard. Durable dense patterned fabric, which is distinguished by increased durability. Disadvantage - due to careless handling, puffs may appear.
• Faux suede. Highly durable material that is great for making a chair with your own hands. Faux suede with embossing looks especially beautiful.
• Tapestry. High-quality, expensive fabric made of natural fiber, with visible weaving. Threads of different shades form a pattern.

Set of necessary materials

If we are talking about frame structure, the simplest option for the frame is plywood cut according to a template. The best option– birch plywood. From Supplies- screws and nails.

You will also need a set of carpentry tools:

• Metal ruler, compass, protractor - for marking.
• Vise: manual and table.
• File.
• Hacksaw.
• Hand scissors.
• Hammer.
• A set of adjustable wrenches.
• Soldering iron.
• Pliers.
• Drill.
• Kerner.
• Chisel.
• Punch.

Important! If you want to make a fashionable and custom bean bag chair with your own hands, then the set of necessary equipment will be significantly reduced. All you need is a sewing machine and stuffing material.

Work planning

The beginning of any business is drawing up a clear action plan. Think over the design of future furniture. Making frame chairs is more difficult and expensive, but they have a more respectable appearance than frameless structures.

Success in making a bean bag chair depends on how accurately and correctly the patterns are drawn up. This is no longer so much furniture production as the art of tailoring. Don't forget to calculate the budget for the event.

Important! It’s not bad if you have an old, but quite decent and durable chair. In this case, a lot is simplified, since you can restore it and get an interesting vintage item.

Classic soft product

Such a thing as a DIY soft chair requires a long preparatory stage. Materials you will need:

• Plywood 20 mm thick.
• Sandpaper.
• Electric drill.
• Sets of screws and thin nails.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Metal rims.
• Foam rubber.
• Joinery adhesive.
• Painting tape.
• Ruler, tape measure.
• Stain, glossy black dye.
• Pencil.

Now you can get started:

1. Download the drawing of the chair you like, calculate the consumption of materials.
2. Make cardboard templates to scale, transfer the outlines onto plywood, then cut out the pieces using a jigsaw.
3. Clean and sand the surface of the wooden parts. Pay special attention to the end areas, soaking them well with drying oil.
4. Paint or stain the sides. Reinforce the end parts of the sidewalls with metal rims. Secure the rims with screws.
5. The next stage is covering the product. Start from the back of the back, using faux leather. Next, proceed to covering the remaining parts of the product. Secure the fabric with wallpaper nails.

Important! It is advisable to treat the fastening points with wood glue. The chair will turn out better.

Bag chair

This product is also known as a pear chair. To make it you will need:

• Calico or satin fabric - 3.0 m.
• Fabric for making the outer cover - 3.5 m.
• Zipper - 1.0 m.
• Filler.
• Pieces of contrasting fabric for decoration.

The procedure for making this chair model is as follows:

1. Download the bean bag chair patterns that you liked the most.
2. Make cardboard patterns to scale.
3. Transfer the contours of the chair onto the fabric. You will need to sew the inner and outer covers separately. As a result, you will have 2 bottoms (top and bottom) and 6 fabric wedges.
4. Sew the wedges together. Leave in the received bag small area unsewn. Sew the top and bottom bottom. After you have finished sewing the top cover, sew the inner cover in the same order.
5. Cut out decorative elements appliques and sew on outer part.
6. Insert the zipper into one of the wedges. If it gets dirty, you can remove the outer part and wash it.
7. Fill the inner bag about ⅔ full with synthetic filling. Now all that remains is to put the inner bag on the outer bag. Zip up.

The DIY chair is ready! As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated here.

How to make a soft chair with your own hands for a children's room?

Making a frameless soft chair for a children's room is no more difficult than a regular bean bag chair. The only difference is the color.

Important! It is better to choose a bright fabric that encourages positivity and cheerfulness. Shades should not be too “screaming” and annoying.

Here is one of the options for upholstered furniture in a child’s room:

• The frame chair can be made in the form of a semicircular sandwich. Hardboard is used for the back wall, plywood is used for the front wall.
• Carefully glue the furniture foam onto the base, on top of which the upholstery will lie.

Important! The best upholstery material options are flock or eco-leather. Even if a young artist paints the upholstery with felt-tip pens or paints, you can remove the marks completely.

• The maximum height of a baby seat should not exceed 600 mm.

Wooden chair for a summer house

Here's another interesting option: DIY wooden chair. Wood is a practical, beautiful and durable material, which, moreover, can be easily processed. In addition, wood self-production home or country furniture has the following advantages:

• Availability of a variety of lumber, their relatively low cost.
• Naturalness, environmental friendliness.
• Pleasant smell of wood. Coniferous wood smells especially pleasant.
• Unique wood texture.

Important! It must be taken into account that the conditions in which country furniture is located, if not extreme, are close to them. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to treating parts with an antiseptic. In this case, the furniture will serve you much longer.

Best for home furniture production Pine, spruce, ash, oak, larch or beech are suitable. Parts that are not subject to heavy loads can be made from linden or alder.

So, we make a garden chair with our own hands. Choose simpler drawings to begin with. When choosing a design, follow two “golden rules”:

• Choose the design that is completely clear to you. Mentally work through the entire procedure. Prepare in advance the tools that are convenient for you.
• Consider the place where the furniture will be used and the design of the room into which this furniture will fit. For example, the best option for a summer house is a folding product or an antique rocking chair.

Manufacturing procedure

Let's consider a simple model, which consists of the following components:

• Sidewalls – 2 pcs.
• Drawers – 3 pcs.
• Cross slats – 35 pcs.

It is these 35 slats that will form the surface of the seat.

The most difficult part of the work is cutting out the side parts:

1. First, make a pattern on cardboard and only then, after making sure that the actions are correct, transfer the outline to the material. The best option for making sidewalls is plywood with a thickness of 3 cm. Use an electric jigsaw to cut out parts.
2. Sand the end parts of the sidewalls. With help hand router or grinders, remove the chamfers.
3. Now cut out 3 drawers from plywood. The length of each is 120 cm, width - 10 cm. Sand these parts; there is no need to chamfer.
4. From a 50x25 mm block, cut 35 sections, the length of each of which is 120 cm. Next, as usual, comes sanding and chamfering. For fastening, prepare 12 confirmations 5x120 mm and wood screws 4x45 mm (40 pieces).
5. Mark the places for attaching the drawers. There are 3 of them in total: in the foot, head and in the middle of the outer arcs of the sidewalls. Drill through 8 mm holes for the drawers.
6. Pull the side parts of the product together with three drawers. For holes in the end parts of the frames, use a 5 mm drill.
7. Now fasten the pre-prepared pieces of bars to the seat using self-tapping screws.
8. The final stage is covering the holes and cracks with wood putty. After this, sand the product, prime the surfaces and paint with varnish or acrylic paint.

How to make a chair from wood with your own hands: drawings and dimensions, plus assembly instructions and explanations for working with lumber

For comfortable rest At the dacha you need a comfortable chair. However, the same furniture is necessary in the apartment. It’s not difficult to buy a good chair, although it won’t be cheap, but you can save money and assemble it yourself from wood. In this article you will find simple instructions manufacturing wooden chair, and in addition, you will learn the rules of working with lumber.

Wood as the main material

Have you decided to make a chair and don’t know what materials to use? Best material- this is wood, namely, boards, beams, furniture panels and other solid wood lumber. There are several reasons for assembling furniture from wood and among them:

• Easy wood processing. Working with wood is easier than with other materials from which furniture is usually made. Again, the tools found in most home workshops will suffice for woodworking;
• Affordable price. Boards, timber and other lumber are still inexpensive considering how much is needed to make one chair. Moreover, you don’t have to buy lumber new, because there are used pallets;
• Great appearance wooden furniture . The texture of the wood is different beautiful design fibers, which, of course, will decorate the chair you assemble, provided that you cover it with a clear varnish;
• Durability. Solid wood furniture is superior in reliability to furniture assembled from plywood or particle boards. With proper use, a chair made of wood will last at least ten years.

Which type of wood is preferable? For assembling furniture, I recommend lumber from hardwood: aspen, linden, birch and fruit trees. Coniferous wood is knotty and resinous, which will complicate cutting materials and finishing the finished product.

Model selection

Now that you know what materials to make a chair from, all that remains is to decide on suitable model. I suggest short review popular options.

Regular chairs with armrests– essentially, these are chairs, but more massive and more comfortable

Illustrations	Furniture options for arranging a summer house
	From pallets. This the best option in terms of ease of assembly and low cost of materials. Again, with a competent approach to the assembly process, the finished products will look modern and stylish.
	Shell. Despite the complexity of the design, this chair looks great and provides the greatest comfort in comparison with other models. The only drawback of this option is the need to bend a lot of wooden parts.
	From an electrical cable reel. Cable reel with a back made of edged boards- this is furniture that is not only cheap, but also quickly produced. It will be even easier to make such a chair than from pallets. In addition, thanks to its rounded sides, you can make a rocking chair from the bay.

A set of standard questions for a self-taught furniture maker

Before we start making a chair, I will comment on the questions that self-taught furniture makers most often ask.

What to cut with? For longitudinal cutting we use a circular saw, for transverse and curved cuts we use a jigsaw or hacksaw.

How to fasten wooden parts? The design of the seats has heavily and lightly loaded joints. For heavily loaded connections we use bolts with washers and nuts. For lightly loaded connections we use wooden dowels or furniture confirmations.

Paint or varnish? The choice of coatings depends on the quality of the lumber. If the wood has no visible defects, it can be tinted with stain and coated with clear varnish. If there are pigment spots on the surface or it was necessary to eliminate defects with putty, it is preferable to cover the part with primer and a continuous layer of paint.

How to reduce paint consumption? We noticed that when finishing armchairs paints and varnishes absorb into the surface and leave unpainted areas? The problem is that lumber has a porous structure and in order to reduce its absorbency, preliminary application of a primer or drying oil will be required.

Why do cracks appear? Often, novice craftsmen, having made furniture from wood, discover cracks appearing over time. The reason for cracking of lumber is uneven drying. The solution to the problem is to use initially dry wood.

Preparing for work

On preparatory stage We select a suitable drawing, prepare materials and prepare tools.

I suggest using wooden pallets rather than new purchased boards as materials. One and a half pallets will be needed for one country chair. Considering that used pallets are sold for about 300 rubles, the price assembled furniture will be low.

Now let's select a drawing. The diagram shows the dimensions oriented to the structure of a person of average height. If necessary, the dimensions can be revised up or down.

This drawing shows several views of the chair, namely top, front and side views. The location is shown here fastening hardware, which provide a reliable connection.

The process of making a chair with your own hands: step-by-step instructions

I offer step-by-step assembly instructions. To make it easier to repeat the above steps, the instructions are presented in the form of a photo report. The steps are listed in the order in which the work needs to be completed.

Anyone can make a chair for their home with their own hands. You just need to purchase some materials and spend a few hours of free time. It is also important to prepare accurate drawings and work diagrams, and beginners will benefit from a master class on how to make a chair with their own hands.

When creating furniture, feel free to use your imagination. Even at home, you can make original, unique interior elements from the simplest products.

Types of chairs and general instructions for creation

Regardless of what drawings are used, there is a certain algorithm for how to make a chair. First, individual parts of a piece of furniture are created, then they are processed - holes are made in them for fastenings, paint and varnish are applied. After which the product is assembled into one whole. In some cases, painting and varnishing are carried out after the manufacture of the chair has come to an end, that is, the whole, assembled product is already being processed.

Before you make a chair, you need to decide on its type. Furniture items can be divided into:

• Solid. They do not have upholstery. Essentially, they are chairs with armrests.
• Semi-soft. Upholstery with filling is placed on the seat, back, and armrests. This saves materials.
• Soft. Soft chair completely upholstered with filler material. This The best decision for a home that will allow you to relax comfortably.
• Rocking chairs.

The simplest option: create a hard chair

For those who have never made chairs with their own hands, you should first pay attention to the drawings and instructions for creating solid products, without upholstery. If necessary, they can be supplemented with soft elements. Such products are distinguished by the fact that they are light, not so afraid of moisture, so they are well suited not only for the home, but also for the summer cottage.

The interior item can be made from scrap materials (for example, pallets) or wood. In the first case, ready-made parts are used, which should simply be processed and assembled into a finished product.

Drawings or a master class are not required to make a product from scrap materials. A homemade chair from pallets is created according to the following algorithm:

1. Preparation of materials. If the pallets are old, it is better to disassemble them and perform a series of actions.
   • Get rid of old nails. Rusty hardware not only spoils the appearance, but is also very dangerous if you get injured by it.
   • Sand it. This is the only way to give old, dirty wood an aesthetically attractive appearance.
   • Reassemble.
2. Connect several pallets into one. The seat height can be selected arbitrarily depending on your wishes. The standard distance from the ground to the seat is 300-400 mm. If the product is intended for children, you can make it lower.
3. Painting and opening with varnish. This procedure can be performed before assembly.

The end result is strong homemade chair, which will fit into the overall appearance of a summer cottage or apartment in a loft style.

Wooden chair

Drawings of a simple wooden chair:

The work will require the following materials and tools:

• Boards and beams. It is important that the wood is carpentry - has a moisture content of no more than 10-25%. From building materials Under no circumstances should you create a frame for furniture. Drying wood is a very long and technologically complex process.
• Hardware – self-tapping screws, screws, nuts, washers.
• Furniture conductor.
• Saw or jigsaw.
• Mallet.
• Wood glue or PVA.

The algorithm for creating products is described above: first, all parts are cut out and processed (the drawing shows the required dimensions), after which they are fastened together. Here are some important points to consider:

• You can fasten the parts together using dowels. To do this, holes are made at the mounting points of such a diameter that connecting element entered them tightly. For greater strength, each hole is treated with glue.
• When fastening with self-tapping screws, it is recommended to pre-drill small holes - this will make them easier to fit in.
• This product can be used as a frame to create an upholstered chair. You can cover it with foam rubber and thick fabric or make separate pillows with ribbons for attaching to the seat, back and armrests.

The rocking chair is created using the same algorithm as other products. The most difficult task- make a round base. In principle, it can be cut out, but this will require a very thick board or beam.

These are not always found. Any master class on this topic provides a more professional solution - bending the prepared part. To do this, you need to soften it using one of the following methods:

• Steam in a box. A special plywood box is created. Holes are made in it to release steam and several small holes for its exit. Parts are placed inside and water steam is supplied (you can use a kettle).
• Soak in ammonia. Work must be done with gloves and in a well-ventilated area.

After the material has become soft, it needs to be bent. To do this, either use special machines or use simple design: place two supports at a distance slightly less than the length of the part, place the product on them and place a load in the middle of it. The bending radius depends on the weight of the load and the height of the supports.

A metal product can be either an independent piece of furniture or provide a frame for making an upholstered chair. The metal chair is very durable and strong, suitable for installation at home or on summer cottage.

The master class for creating a chair made of metal is practically no different from the instructions for making wood products. Simply, welding or hardware is used to connect parts.

The metal frame is also made into a round hanging chair(chair-hammock). A wicker seat can be made of wicker, rattan or other material. If you want to make a soft round chair, then you can sew foam rubber with fabric onto the frame or make pillows separately.

Not only craftsmen know how to make exclusive, comfortable furniture from scrap materials. The advantage of such an activity is obvious - it is the opportunity to translate into reality the most daring ideas for diversifying the living space. An additional bonus is the low cost of making home soft chairs with your own hands. Following the advice of designers, you can make an upholstered chair for a pleasant time in your own home. At home, you can exactly repeat all the stages of factory production of this modern and convenient attribute for decorating a children's or living room. On the Internet you can find both the simplest and most complex schemes.

The first step in the manufacture of home upholstered furniture is the choice of fabric for external design soft parts of the structure. Each master selects upholstery depending on physical properties and price aspects and features that different drawings have. Let's look at the most common fabrics for decorating chairs in our time:

• velor – velvety to the touch, gives the furniture a certain charm;

Velor upholstery

• flog is a distant analogue of velor, easy to clean, so designers use it to decorate children's upholstered furniture;

Upholstered flog

• chenille - a fabric based on a combination of natural and synthetic fibers, has particular wear resistance (a well-thought-out structure prevents the formation of pilling);

Chinille in upholstery

• jacquard - the upholstery is considered durable, but over time the loops turn into puffs;
• natural tapestry is the most expensive and beautiful type of fabric for upholstery;

Upholstered jacquard

• artificial suede is a universal option for chairs in a sunny room, resistant to UV rays and easy to clean;

Faux suede upholstery

• leatherette is a durable material that allows you to play with decorative embossing.

Leatherette upholstery

Material, fittings, tools for frame attributes

Creating a frame chair from scratch presents some difficulties. But the finished product will have a more respectable appearance. You can verify this by looking at photos of finished homemade products. You can also use an old Soviet “grandmother’s” chair for the base.

To make a simple frame for an upholstered chair, you need to select durable sheets of 20 mm plywood for cutting out parts yourself. A standard set of repair tools with an electric drill, a jigsaw, a steel ruler, emery cloth, metal rims, masking tape, a pencil, a tape measure, thin nails, self-tapping screws, wood glue, stain, and glossy paint will also be useful. For upholstery you need: artificial leather or fabric, foam rubber (filler).

Step-by-step creation of upholstered furniture with a wooden base

1. If you don't know how to make a drawing for the base, then look ready-made options schemes on the network. As a rule, they are transferred to a cardboard template with a pencil. Only after this they begin to perform the operations of the described algorithm. This will help you save on excess material, or vice versa – avoid purchasing missing parts.
2. Using a cardboard template, future constituent elements are cut out from plywood sheets:

• banana-shaped sidewalls;
• cross bars.

It is important to determine the required angles of inclination, bending and dimensions of the future frame. A photo of the finished chair, created according to your design, will help with this.

1. The next stage is surface treatment of wooden parts by stripping and grinding. The ends are worked with special care to improve the quality of the work done. These parts are first impregnated with heated drying oil and only then bends are formed with a hammer, if they are provided for in the sketch. Each component element is cut out with an electric jigsaw.
2. The sidewalls are painted or treated with varnish-stain. The ends of the side parts are reinforced with metal rims.
3. The further course of action is related to the covering of the frame. Using an electric drill, make the required holes. The rims are fixed with screws.
4. First, the back part of the back is covered with artificial leather or fabric, then the remaining fragments of the structure, incl. and seats.
5. The upholstery material is secured with wallpaper nails, which are characterized by large heads. In the back of the frame chair, the upholstery is fixed along the edge, along the transverse parts to better cover the slats.

Experienced furniture makers recommend additionally treating the fastening points with wood glue. This move is needed to increase the durability of the furniture you create with your own hands.

Secrets of reliable upholstery: how to sew

The process of stretching the upholstery of soft chairs has its own nuances:

1. Foam rubber is cut to the size of the seat (average thickness - 5 cm). The part is glued to the surface of the plywood sheet.
2. Horizontal and vertical fabric straps are secured to the back with a construction stapler. Similar belts are added to the armrests and sides from the inside along the shape.
3. A piece is cut from a piece of foam rubber 0.1 cm thick, which will be larger in size than the area of ​​the seat (the difference is 4-5 cm). Take a piece of synthetic padding fabric of a similar size with an elongated front part and fasten it with your own hands.
4. After the manipulations have been completed, the upholstery is covered furniture fabric. Using a stapler, the textiles are secured to all corners of the cover and the synthetic foam layer to the frame of the chair seat.
5. The sides and armrests are also covered with padding polyester, secured with aerosol glue over the entire surface. Only after this the parts are sheathed with fabric, securing the flap along the staples.

We cover the chair with foam rubber. Additionally we put padding polyester

The idea of ​​making a children's soft chair with your own hands has a number of advantages. The main one is the opportunity to save money. Homemade furniture costs several times less than purchased products. When making interior items yourself, you can choose the optimal design, size and color of the final product.

Children's room

The room for the child should be spacious enough for games, cabinets, tables and chairs, toys and other accessories. And most importantly - a comfortable and functional place to relax. Installing a bed is not always justified, especially in small rooms. Frame products also do not always meet safety aspects. In such cases, parents think about how to make a children's bed that can be transformed into a chair. This is a feasible task that can be solved without the involvement of specialists.

Thanks to a creative approach, you can make a safe upholstered furniture, which the child can independently move, disassemble and assemble.

Frameless chair that can change shape

Such products consist of several pillows fastened together. These interior elements have many advantages.

They are as follows:

1. A light weight. For the manufacture of transformable furniture, timber, plywood and heavy pressed boards are not used. The chair can be easily moved to a new place when the need arises.
2. Safety. The accessory does not have hard surfaces or sharp corners that children can hit. When unfolded, the height of the soft part above the floor does not exceed 20 cm - a child falling in his sleep will not cause him any discomfort.
3. Presentability. Properly made and tastefully decorated furniture looks beautiful and representative, organically fitting into the interior.

A folding chair without a frame is easy to maintain and repair. It can be easily disassembled into component parts that can be quickly replaced or updated.

What you need

Before starting work, it will be necessary to conduct a survey of the premises and draw up diagrams. You need to measure the size of the free niches and the area that can be occupied by furniture. If you make several identical items, you can use them to assemble a sofa or corner for spending time together with your child’s family or friends.

To do Baby chair with your own hands, you will need to accurately calculate the need for materials. It is advisable not to skimp on fabric and make all pillows the same color on both sides. This way the furniture will look much better when unfolded.

Calculate the pattern frameless chair you can use paper copies of each pillow and ottoman to scale. The cut rectangles are laid on the fabric roll strip layout so that there is less waste. Separately, it is advisable to add a supply of material to the calculations for replacement in case of damage to the product.

To make a chair with your own hands you need the following materials:

• foam rubber slabs 10 cm thick;
• upholstery fabric;
• inexpensive chintz;
• braid 2 cm and 5 cm wide;
• threads;
• detachable zippers;
• decorative elements;
• synthetic glue.

Tools needed to make a chair:

• sewing machine;
• tailor's meter;
• roulette;
• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• marker or pencil.

Since the foam rubber will have to be cut with a sharp knife, it is recommended to protect the floor covering while working. For this, plywood or a piece of old linoleum is used.

Sewing order

To make upholstered folding furniture, you must have a sufficient supply of needles and threads.

Sewing covers is carried out in the following sequence:

1. A strip of material is spread on the floor. If there is such a possibility, it is better to fix it tightly in the corners in a taut state.
2. The patterns are transferred to the fabric. It is advisable to place the templates on the same line in order to obtain several blanks with one cut. The details of the pattern are made clearly visible. The part marking is applied on the reverse side.
3. The marking is checked for correctness. After this, the material is cut with scissors. The excess is removed, and the blanks are stacked.
4. The edges of the workpieces are finished using an overlocker. The covers are sewn together, zippers and wide braid are attached to them.

To strengthen the edges of the pillows and give the correct shape, sew narrow braid along the corners of the covers.

You can sew a bean bag chair with your own hands in the same way. Since it has a rounded shape, the seams do not need to be reinforced with braid.

Filling the filler

For a pear-shaped product, an inner cover is made of thick fabric. It is necessary to retain small fragments and dust. Foam balls, polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride can be used as filler. All these materials are environmentally friendly and are sold on construction markets.

To fill the cover, 0.3-0.5 m³ of material is required. To accurately calculate the need, you need to multiply half the length of the rounded part by the width and depth of the base. It is recommended to purchase balls with a reserve of 20-30% in order to add them to the case as the filler shrinks. Backfilling is carried out using a scoop; the completeness is determined experimentally. The receiver of the work is the child. After filling the inner reservoir, it is zipped up and the outer cover is pulled over the top.

Children's chair made from scrap materials

Making armchairs and chairs from foam rubber, polyurethane foam and mattresses is an excellent and profitable way to recycle old things. As starting materials old beds, wardrobes and sofas are used. Their components are used as blanks for frames, sides, armrests and niches for things.

Tools and materials

To make folding upholstered furniture, you will need:

• roulette;
• hacksaw;
• square;
• electric drill;
• screwdrivers;
• spanners;
• sandpaper;
• PVA glue;
• sewing machine;
• ruler;
• marker.

If a sofa is being disassembled, then the work uses a folding mechanism, corners, bolts and nuts.
