It was a rectangular table with two chairs that were able to fit under the table one on each side or side by side on one side. The table could be placed on its side to become a sofa. My kids wore it out! We would love to build some for our grandchildren but we do not have the plans. Can you tell us if you were the magazine that published the plans? We believe that the table and chairs were made from one 4x8 peice of plywood. Thank you. Dear sirs:
