   Anyone who has ever acquired upholstered furniture, thought: "why not do it yourself?". In fact, nothing particularly complicated here. It is important to understand that to make the ordinary wooden furniture, and then just cover it with fabric and filler. To start a similar sample joiner we suggest you with the production of soft stools. Then you can go to bed and Ottoman. And only after that to wipe out the holiest of holies: the sofa and chair.
