There are a few practical problems:
- it would be nice to use more than two supports behind the backrest, but I only have two hands, so I can't fold away more than two brackets at a time;
- getting the balance right between reasonably light construction and reasonably strong is tricky without making the backrest thicker;
- each end of the backrest could have a bolt that goes into the wall, which would make it stronger, though then the recess needs to be deep enough for the bolt to fit into it;
- some finger holes around the edge of the backrest would be good, as otherwise there's going to be some bruised fingers!
