How to Build a Booth Chair

Place flat on the ground a 3/4-inch plywood board measuring 25 by 28 inches. Apply wood glue around the top edges of the board. Arrange 2 1-by-6 wood boards, 25-inches long and 2 2 1-by-6 wood boards, 28-inches long on top of the glue. The 6-inch side is the height of the booth seat.

Add glue to the edges of each board, where the wood touches another board. Clamp the wood with wood clamps and let the glue dry overnight. The next morning, remove the clamps and turn the wood over. Sink 2-inch wood screws through the plywood piece and into the wood underneath, adding screws every 2 inches around the wood. Turn the piece upright.

Apply a thick coat of wood glue to the top of a 3/4-inch plywood piece measuring 25 by 28 inches. Press a piece of 10-inch thick foam padding against the wood. Trim off the excess padding with a utility knife.

Wrap the foam-covered board with fabric, vinyl or leather. Fold the fabric under the wood as if you were wrapping a gift. Secure the fabric to the bottom of the wood with upholstery staples attached with a staple gun.

Cover the top edges of the frame you made in steps one and two with wood glue. Carefully place the fabric and foam board on top and secure with clamps. After the wood glue dries, remove the clamps.

Place a 3/4-inch plywood board measuring 42 by 28 inches long against the back of the booth seat. Line up the bottom of the plywood with the bottom of the booth seat. Mark where the top of the foam touches the plywood.

Repeat step four with the new plywood board and foam padding. Trim the foam so that the bottom of the foam touches the top of the foam on the seat. Wrap fabric, vinyl or leather around the piece and secure with upholstery staples. Wrap the fabric under the bottom, so that it does not show in the finished piece.

Place the plywood board from the last step on the back of the booth seat, making the foam pieces touch each other. Secure the back to the seat with wood screws. The screws add security and keep the seat on the booth.

Turn the booth over, giving you access to the bottom. Drill a 1/2-inch hole in each corner of the wood base. Set a screw-in table leg on the bottom and tighten into the wood. Attach one leg to each corner at the booth and turn the booth over so that it sits on the legs.
