Don't be intimidated by the prospect of reupholstering an ugly or stained office chair with seemingly complicated mechanics. This office chair was purchased at my FAVORITE furniture store-Goodwill, for a whopping $6.99. I had oodles of a fabric remnant I purchased for $5.99 a yard. This chair took approximately one yard of fabric. I am waiting for a website adjustment to post the remainder of the pictures.
The simple design of Timothy Ben’s Tabloid occasional table makes it totally knock-off-able.

Check out Matteo’s impressive Timber Bed. With a little woodworking experience, this design is totally DIY-able. Constructed out of what looks like 4" x 4" (the canopy), 2" x 6" (the bed rails), and 1" x 4" (the slats). Matteo doesn’t give the price for the bed.
