Hi Don,
=20
A disclaimer first... I've got a couple of students here that can break =
most anything! That being said, the frame is welded steel with a seat of =
wafer board covered with a fairly durable fabric and foam rubber. The =
fabric needs to be replaced about every 3-5 years. It just tacks on with =
a staple gun and is reattached to the metal frame with 4 screws. If you =
were to put a hard top on instead of padding you wouldn't need to bother =
with anything for years, but my butt liked the cushy seat so that's what =
we went with.
=20
No plans, really. (It ain't rocket science.) Just make sure you know =
what the finished dimensions will be and a good shop man will build a =
prototype. Our metal frame is 1 1/2" square metal tubing (I don't know =
the gauge of metal) for the legs and 2" x 1" for the part where the seat =
attaches. The plastic inserts for the feet we had to buy by the =
thousand, but they were only a few cents each. The metal frame outside =
dimensions are 17 =BD"  high (Finished height with top Is 19 =BD") x 13 =
wide x 31 long. The cushioned seat is =BD" wafer board with foam rubber, =
then Naugahyde or some durable fabric and it overhangs the sides by 2". =
If you talk heights, etc. no one seems to agree, but we haven't had one =
complaint about these.=20
=20
Since they were made from materials that the scene shop had (recycled) =
we were charged mainly for the labor and the tops. Our students paint =
them (we have access to a booth near our piano shop) and attach the tops =
as they return from the upholstery shop.

Eldridge Travis RPT makes them for customers and I think he sells them =
for around $80 - $100, depending on what you want.

Hope that helps.
