Description

What’s more fun than a child’s table and chairs? Having a dedicated place for kids to do crafts, homework, and even the occasional tea party builds positive childhood memories. And it gives the woodworker a chance to learn new skills and polish a few old ones.

Table and Chairs

In this 5-day class, you’ll make a child’s size table and two chairs. You’ll use a combination of traditional and modern joinery to create furniture they’ll pass on to their grandkids.

Designed in the Mid-Century modern style with simple lines and smooth curves, this table and chairs fit into nearly any decor.

Build the little ones something that will give them endless hours of fun and will last for generations.
