2. Separate from the piece that was cut two long slats, and secure them with nails between the larger piece to create a comfortable backrest.
3. Once again, from the cut piece, cut two slats 30 cm (11.81 inches) long and attach them to the back of the backrest.
These pieces must be attached in such a way that they are slightly more projecting than the other slats so as to create the interlocking system that accommodates the backrest of the sofa.
4. Create two more slats, each 52 cm (20.47 in) long and attach one end to the backrest and the other to the sofa base, after you have already attached the backrest itself.
These slats will serve to keep the backrest firmly in place.
