Intro: Lounge Sofa

Here is my first instructable for a lounge sofa i made recently.
Pics only for now. i'll try a step-by-step later.

the sofa measures metric:
3,65cm length,
110cm depth
68 cm height.

Seating area is 302cm x 075cm.
and  seating height 35cm.

I was inspired by the diy sofa from Eric Dialpaz.

Basically i made a wooden frame and used
elastic singelband,
high quality pantera foam SG52 7 years warranty
coarse woven fabric.

i did some research on how sofas are made and i decided to build my own after watching many youtube video's and checking various websites. Here are build and finished pics. well i still making a seperate seating cushion measuring 80cmx80cmx35cm. and 4 sofa pillows measuring 75cmx35cmx10cm.

Awesome job. Does the PDF download have all the details? I'm thinking of making a built in and wanted to get an idea from your design, but wanted to confirm since I'd have to sign up for PRO. :D

I have been thinking about making my own couch, so far these photos helped me understand how to possibly do that. I was wondering if you were still going to do a step-by-step?
