I used circular saw for all of the cutting in this project. STEP 1: Set the circular saw blade at an angle and cut the plywood. It would be a lot cheaper to cover the cushions with canvas or some other fabric but I really wanted to try a leather project. I didn’t use all the leather for these cushions. I went to my local Tandy Leather Store and got 2 whole hides. I ordered the foam for the cushions from here is what I ordered:Ĭushion, Lux Foam - High Quality WITH DACRON WRAP Dimensions: 3' x 24' x 66' $79.41 Cushion, Lux Foam - High Quality WITH DACRON WRAP Dimensions: 3' x 18' x 66' $59.56. I got some BEHR Interior Flat/Matte Paint in the color “Silver Hill” from Home Depot to paint the frames. I used Minwax polycrylic to seal the plywood. Furniture grade plywood would also work well.

I bought two sheets of ¾” thick sanded pine plywood. I picked a nice straight ones out of the pile. I had the nice people at Home Depot cut it in half so that it would fit in my car. This type of lumber can be quite rough so I took my time picking through the pile to find a nice straight one.

I bought a 12 foot long 2x10 from Home Depot. I ordered the foam for the cushions online and covered them with leather from Tandy Leather. The frame for this DIY sofa is made out of ¾” thick plywood, a 2x10, and some 2x4s that I got from Home Depot. The counter gives it additional functionality that makes it great for having a get-together for watching a movie or sporting event, even in a small space. I designed this sofa so that it has a built-in counter along the back.
