Step 1:

Take the seat and nail it to all four legs.  You will use the spackle to cover the nail holes before you paint.

Step 2:

Attach the back of the chair by using wood glue on the bottom and anilin into place.  You will nail from the bottom of the seat through the bottom of the back of the chair.

Step 3:

Now nail the armrest supports into place.  The back of them will be flush with the back of the front legs.

Step 4:

To complete the project add the armrests to the arm supports.  Nail them into place and be sure to spackle the holes before painting.

Once you sand and paint, add some fun cushions!

And your American Girl Doll is ready for a little relaxation in the reading corner.
