Furniture design standards.

The chair dimension-
Seat width-16-20"
Seat depth-15-18"
Seat height from floor-16-18"
Seat slope-5*-8* degrees
Armrest above seat -7-9"
Armrest length-8 minimum
Armrest width - 2" (average)
Seat back height-12-16"
Now these dimensions are on average of an adult human. These measurements might adjust according to the person who you are specifically making this for. For lounge chairs the dimensions are different but very much alike at the same time.

Coffee tables/side tables
Well for the tables it all depends on what size and shape. The square table has different dimensions from the round one. The rectangular has different dimensions from the others. So i will do the dimensions for the most common a square but if you would like the dimensions for the others and much more just click here and go to this link.

Width/Depth-18-24"

    What I am thinking of designing is a chair. We are putting our furniture in the energy centre, For anyone to use. But I would say one of the most important things is durablity. After all it is a high school attached to the energy center. Kids are going to do stuff to our furniture. I am getting off track I want to build a chair that has lots of charcter. In construction class I only make furniture so this is right in my field. 
 I have no idea how I am going to build it right now. But me and my group will figure it out. So I will be updating my blog along the way.
