Would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Easy to follow directions and it goes togeather very well. DVD helps with assembly as written directions are very lacking. I made two chairs over 2 afternoons. Fun and easy project.

The patterns were a welcome sight. However, there was one piece of the cardboard pattern left out for the adult chair. All in all it's great.

I purchased this product to make 6 Adirondak chairs for my daughter. I arrived quicker than I expected. The plans, DVD, and templates were all much better than I expected. Very easy to follow. I would recommend this product to anyone seriously interested in building these chairs. I was very satisfied.

Awesome product! One word of warning - when putting down the cardboard patterns, lay them so the smoothe sides will be face up on your chairs when finished. The boards we used cedar were rough on one side and we had spent a lot of extra time smoothing the rough side because we failed to do this. Other than that, they turned out beautifully and it was a fun weekend project!

I bought these plans thinking that they where over priced, and with my wife wanting Adirondack chairs. Man was I wrong, if you watch the dvd, and use the templates, you can't go wrong. They are pretty much idiot proof, just follow the directions and you will have some great chairs.

This is an update to my first review. I've now built 6 chairs, each one successively better than the one before. The instructor on the DVD tends to eyeball a lot of things. I don't. For example, mounting the arms to the tops of the legs requires the inside edge to be in vertical alignment with the inside edge of the long legs, therefore I clamp two pieces of wood to act at guides for the arm placements. Keeping things square and plumb is the key. Gorilla Glue is recommended by the instructor and it has proven to work extremely well. Four of the chairs have been outside in the weather for over a year now and they are still as sturdy as the day they we built. Pre-drilling holes is a must, too. Overall, I have really gotten my money's worth from this purchase.

The templates are terrific, but the written instructions are somewhat incomplete. The DVD clears up a lot of questions by showing you the steps that are not well explained in the written procedure. The DVD is homemade and the audio has an annoying background 60 Hz buzzing, but otherwise is adequate for the package.
All in all, it's still a very good value and I anticipate making several chairs for our own use as well as gifts.

I took the advice of another reviewer and made the legs 3" instead of 2 1/2" which probably added to the chairs stability. I also used three 2" bolts on each leg instead of screws to provide more strength at a point that is generally weak on such chairs. I made two of the childs chairs and they turned out well but they are not as easy to assemble as the dvd indicates. More time and effort has to be made to ensure that everything fits well and is plumb and level, especially when adding the legs. Overall it's a good product.

These plans and DVD are the greatest. Having the cardboard parts ready to layout and cut is wonderful. Chairs go together real easy.

The cardboard layouts really made this easy but even more so was the layout guide, really helped cut down on the scrap wood. I am a beginner and have made several of these chairs in a short period of time.

Made two of the adult size chairs in a weekend. Having the board layouts made things easy. Video is low grade/homemade and cursory but good enough for reference. The printed instructions were worthless. Chairs turned out pretty nice for a first woodworking effort on my part. Stable and comfy.

Very easy to cut the parts and assemble. I used 1" cedar rather than 3/4" and made 2 chairs. Made beefier chairs. Expect them to last many years at our lake front lot where we keep a travel trailer.

Worth it's money just for the cardboard cut-outs, they're spot on. It also provides a cut list and an optimized layout of the pieces on your lumber to minimize scrap. The dvd looks like it was shot with a camcorder in someone's garage, but it gets the job done. I'm a novice and I made this chair in a weekend.
Couple callouts:
1. Beware of splitting wood. I pre-drilled my holes, but I still experienced a number of boards that split when I tightened them down. I would recommened screws without a shoulder if you can find them. (pocket hole screws would be perfect if they were exterior grade)
2. I would recommend going with wider board for front legs. The piece isn't unsafe, but it's a little wobbly left-to-right.

The DVD does not work!
Editor's note: If attempting to view on a computer be sure that disc is in a DVD drive rather than a CD drive.

I purchased for my husband who is recovering from two total knee replacements. He was impressed by the detail of the templates and received some key pointers with the DVD.
