“Great plans and template, heavy duty enough to release nicely from double sided tape. Should get a lot of chairs made from this one set.”

“I was pleased with all but one of the templates in this set. The upper back seat support doesn't fit snugly with the arms where they meet. A small concern because overall the chars went together very well for me. I did miss a few things that were in the instructions (beveling the upper seat support...used a router to remove some material then belt sander) until after assembly because it was in the part list, not the actual instructions. I'd recommend anyone building these to read the instructions very very closely. A cut list/lumber need list would be nice. I had to use treated 1x6s and miscalculated my need. I did build two so it was a little more dicey. Anyway, these templates and instructions ended in very nice chairs for my family.”

“Dimensions for materials not given and instructions are garbage. I would give it zero stars if I could”

“I started out several years back as a hobbyist woodworker mostly doing scroll saw work I decided to dive into building Adirondack chairs through encouragement from other folks and I bought these templates and even though I'm a beginner I found the instructions easy to understand the templates easy-to-use and probably made about 15 chairs now and will continue to use them unfortunately I lost my templates in a move so I'll be ordering new ones”

“I've been cranking out chairs this year thanks to these templates. They did come with some rough edges, but they were easily sanded out. Using my router with the templates give a nice clean edge. Better than what I could do with the band saw alone. Great investment”

“I built many of the chairs from these plans, sold them at farmers markets, and the customers were amazed at how comfortable they were. I made them from white oak, beautiful and long lasting. I made jigs for everything and had no trouble building them.”

“Other reviewer noted the template is not smooth enough to follow a router bit. That's true. A careful hand on the disk sander can fix that pretty quick, but to the other reviewers point, you shouldn't have to fix the templates before you use them. I'm about half-way through building my first chair. I've learned a bunch along the way and I've got more to learn. I've got all the pieces cut and sanded. I start assembly tomorrow.”

“Adding to my previous review, the directions are very basic. All the pictures are black and white, basically just xerox's of the original if I had to guess. So I'm not thrilled with them, but the project so far has been good to learn from. I'm looking forward to going from a pile of parts to a finished chair. I'm sure the next one will be a lot faster.”
