    My son in law had this exact same chair sitting in his garage and ask me if I wanted it he was fixing to put in trash. I can't believe I found this video of the same chair . Will make it so much easier to redo it. I will probably watch over and over.
    Thanks you made it look easy.

    Thanks for your video, I purchased 2 beautiful chairs from Goodwill for $25 each. Went to price how much to have them reupholstered. It's close to $700 so decided to try to do it myself. Hope my chairs come out as beautiful as yours. Again, thanks for sharing your video. Blessings.

      Ditto! Not 15 min of talking about how you were walking down the street one day and saw a blue flower and that made you think of blue skies which made you think of clouds which made you call your aunt Bee and she mentioned she had some furniture she was putting on the curb and so you wanted to reupholster a chair. This one got right to the point!

    The chair looks pretty good, but next time you should center the pattern and match it so it is continuous from top to bottom.

    This is a great job. But would it be possible to view a closeup of the top edge of the trim on the chair? If you use the staple gun, don’t the staples show or are clear staples? Since the camera is so far away, you can’t see this detail.

    Only thing is the webbing and is it cardboard strips? It does t say what it is and where do you get the cardboard looking stuff amazon too? This is why I prefer verbiage as you go along and do you use a spray to hold foam on fabric and webbing or just hope it stays up and if not can I use it ? It looks simple but I need to hear you to explain would be better

    My issue is that my dining chair set from offer up that I am refinishing had a solid board screwed on at some point... so I want to replace the solid board with cane webbing as it’s much more comfortable but at the same time stapling the fabric directly to the frame seems a bit beyond my skill level, however I am going to give it a try. I suppose I could also just saw out the middle of the wooden seat board then web it and upholster it and then put it back... The other thing I really want to get is that look of sort of a domed seat cushion not just a flat square but unsure the best combination of foam to achieve that.

    What is the webbing on
    The back? Is it new, or what you had removed??? What did you clean the chair wood with, that would remove the build-up, but not harm the wood? Did you strip and then re-stain/varnish???
