I was lucky to find a pair of filthy and falling-apart chairs at the tip. Just what I needed for my upholstery course! I have spent several classes taking them apart and I thought you might like to see...
Yes, I am going to replace the hessian which is rotten but the springs are in good nick (about the only bit that is). I will share the treasure that fell out of the insides another time...
Neither can I! By the time I had finished stripping it (two mornings work) I was drenched in sweat and filthy. I am hoping that putting it all back on might be slightly more genteel!
What fun!

Are you going to keep the springs?

DeleteThat looks very scary to me, I can't wait to see how you restore it.
