    Thanks, you have revealed somethingI wasn't aware of and so recovering my own chairs will be a lot easier now.
    Just need to jot down staple thickness and see if we have them locally. Now to go find old pair of husband's golf gloves.

      The same way to remove the wooden cap.
      Then unscrew from both sides.
      Then gently but firmly push one leg away from the back board until both dowels are free from their holes.

      You take out the wood plugs (if any) and unscrew the seats and backs from the frame, pull out all the old staples and remove the crusty dusty old foam.
      Be prepared to put new plugs in as sometimes you just have to damage them to get them out, especially if they’re evenly flat with the wood surface.

    Hmm, certainly not pro upholstery lesson here! May look good to someone with little know how but the work will not last long sewing faux types vinyl by hand 🤣 Anyhow good professional upholsterer would not always need to take the chair apart to achieve this.

    • @qhumvee
      @qhumvee  Před 5 měsíci

      Any remotely professional upholster would always take the chair apart and do this properly.
      The process is still the same. Regardless of materials used.
