Anyone know plans or resources for American Diner Style benches?

Ho ho ho

Since it's not really arcade related, I couldn't decide between putting this topic into the woodworking or the everything else section. Since it is themed of building something, I decidet to put it in here (woodworking).

Well, I would like to build two diner benches like these here:



Having no clue of something never kept me from doing it. But I learned that it's always better to ask and/or collect as much knowledge as you could. I already got the measures I need, I am just curious if someone knows some sort of ressources like websites which have plans or even guides on how to build something simmilar. After all, my Livingroom arcade will need a fitting place to eat the meals ; )

Not 50's style (I grew up in the 80's with videogames, not the 50's) but a booth nonetheless.  Might be useful for someone going with a bar-like theme or pizza joint theme in their gameroom:

My dad and I built these without plans a few years ago.  I documented the build pretty thoroughly, with the intention of selling the docs and printed templates on ebay, but never finished.  I can supply some general pictures of the build to highlight the important parts if anyone is interested.
