   A few weeks ago another person posted a similar statement / request. I replied that I had purchased these plans a few years from Taunton and was happy to send / mail them to that person if we could only figure out a way to coordinate the transfer. Username MJ offered to mediate the transaction but nothing came of it.
   Well I still have the plans. Used them, made the prairie settle. Not going to make another one ever again. Happy to send the plans to a good home....

   1sri, how do find this for comfort? I too have thought about it a couple of times in the past but with the upright back and arms, wondered if it would be comfortable. It doesn't look like it would lend itself to slouching or sprawling out. I am currently building his bed from April 2017, finding the information in the magazine and referencing the video on occasion, enough.

   Unfortunately not comfortable at all. Even before I made it my wife said it looks nice but seems very upright and not something you can sit in for a couple hours of TV watching. She was right. We have it in the least used room of the house, the living room where we sit when we have the occasional visitor.
   The dog loves it though!

   I have built this settle several years ago. The key to making it comfortable is with the cushions and the frame that holds them. Use a webbing structure for the seat cushions and have a tapered wedge shaped cushion made for the back. The wedge should be thick enough at the top to come out well beyond the top rail. If you use flat cushions it will not be comfortable. My wife sits on the settle for hours and finds it very comfortable with the correct cushions. It is costly to have the cushions professionally made but comfort is worth it, The flat cushions shown in the video will not work well.
