"Nail your cleats across with their top edges fifteen inches from the
ground and nail the bottom of the box on to the cleats. See how these
two-sided legs protect the edges of the box as well as make it decent

examining the chair carefully and sitting down in it. "Don't you think

"Suppose you saw those sides down about five inches."
Roger obeyed and Dorothy tried the chair again and pronounced it much
improved.
"It's comfy enough now, but these arms don't look very well, and they'd
be liable to tear your sleeves," she said. "Let's put on some strip
covers. They'll give a finish to the whole thing, and hide the end of
the two-sided legs and be smooth."
"Plenty of reason for having them. How many inches?"
"Twelve," answered Dorothy after measuring.
