I have been asked to make a high-back hall bench, the kind that has a lower box/bench with lid for storage, and a tall (72") back board for hanging coats, etc. I have a couple of sets of plans, that I am not satisfied with, for several reasons, but mostly I do not like the way the back attaches to the bench. I would like to find a way to make the back detachable from the bench, for ease of moving and transporting.
So I'm looking for ideas on how to make this a knockdown piece in an attractive efficient way. Any ideas? In general, having moved too many pieces of furniture in my life, designing and making large pieces of furniture capable of partial disassembly is, I think, a good idea -worth a magazine article or two.
