Planning my first chair making project for late summer/early fall. Has anyone used the Bob Settich chair kit?

I normally like designing my own projects, as that's part of the fun for me. Since I've never made a chair before I thought this might be a good thing to try. I saw it at the woodworking show, and it looked pretty good I was curious if any of you have used this plan and what you thought of it.
Second question, has anyone used DSS a #1 southern yellow pine. I went to the only real lumber yard in my area last week, and they recommended it as a hard, tight grain pine. They were yard workers, so when I asked about use for furniture they kinda shrugged their shoulders and said yeah it would be good. I want to use pine for two reasons. I like the price of it being a new project for me, and I also may make a farmhouse table to match down the road. A google search turns up fairly decent information, but I am curious if any of you have used it for furniture projects
Thanks in advance for your advice.
