The 6th installment of our furniture tutorials. Keep reading to see how to build a table, canopy bed, stool, armchair, and candlestick.<\/p>\n

This stool design consists of just 3 parts.<\/p>\n

\"s1\"<\/p>\n

The 2×2 dish on the bottom could also easily be replaced by a 2×2 round centering piece.<\/p>\n

\"s2\"<\/p>\n

Next up is a detailed candlestick that even includes the wick of the candle. The 1×1 round plate with hole is the key piece in the design.<\/p>\n

\"ca1\"<\/p>\n

A lever and technic pin make up the candle itself.<\/p>\n

\"ca2\"<\/p>\n

And here is the finished candle stick.<\/p>\n

\"ca3\"<\/p>\n

Armchairs are often difficult to build in minifigure scale without becoming too bulky. This technique utilizes neck brackets to allow for plenty of detail in a small space.
\nThis upside down 2×2 tile serves as the base for the chair.<\/p>\n

\"c1\"<\/p>\n

Then 4 neck brackets are added to a 2×2 bracket.<\/p>\n

\"c2\"<\/p>\n

A few 1×3 tiles and a 2×2 plate make up the back of the chair.<\/p>\n

\"c3\"<\/p>\n

The back clips onto the 2×2 bracket, while the studs from the face of the bracket stick through the neck brackets enough for the assembly to rest fairly securely on the upside down 2×2 tile.<\/p>\n

\"c4\"<\/p>\n

Different colors can be used for the 2×2 bracket and 2×2 plate to give different styles.<\/p>\n

\"c5\"<\/p>\n

By using clips to attach the legs and hold together the 3 1×6 tiles, this table is parts efficient and maintains a one tile thick surface.<\/p>\n

\"t2\"<\/p>\n

\"t1\"<\/p>\n

John used all of these designs together in his Farewell We Call to Hearth and Home<\/a> model.<\/p>\n

\"set\"<\/p>\n

For the last piece of furniture in this tutorial, we have a canopy bed. The whole design uses simple studs up construction and starts off with a reddish brown frame.<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

2 white curved slopes and a 2×2 tile make a nice pillow.<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

Adding a few 2×2 bricks gives more depth.<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

1×3 curved slopes along with 1×1 plates in alternating colors give some nice blankets for the bed.<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/p>\n

\"6\"<\/p>\n

Next some posts to support the canopy are added. The arch with flair gives some nice extra detail.<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/p>\n

Red 1×4 curved slopes make up the canopy itself with the center 4 studs sitting one plate higher than the outside studs.<\/p>\n

\"9\"<\/p>\n

And there is the completed bed! This design was used in my Sigurd’s General Goods<\/a> model.<\/p>\n

\"10\"<\/p>\n
