Negative Positive
Title: Directions confusing and incomplete
Review: I too tried the folding chair and it is impossible to assemble as described. I've made and attempted other pieces: Chaise Lounge (completed, but had to figure some things out myself); Wattle Chair: Could not complete. You cannot build a chair with nails - it does not hold together. Seat instructions confusing, couldn't get it to work. Many hours wasted. Grapevine & Willow frame: completed but it is not very strong - again nails used, being nailed into soft pith wood does not work;Basket Planter: Top of basket sides will not hold if directions are followed. I have made this basket a few times but have had to adapt and change it radically for it to work and be strong.Hostess Stand:worked. I keep trying these projects because the ideas look so great. I've never done any woodworking before and have encountered a lot of frustration with this book. Plan on figuring out the construction for yourself. You may want to use junk materials for a dry run.
