DIY - How to Reupholster a Chair 

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.

This is great! I've wrestled with wanting to reupholster an old chair for years, and your video just gave me the confidence to tackle the job. Thank you for sharing!

I am re doing this very chair, I picked up. I just took it apart. I was struggling with how I was going to do the top part. This was the guidance I needed. Loved what you did!

Hello, I received the exact same chair, and now seeing your video will help me re-do it. Keep posting your DIY project. Excellent job!!

I love how you did this video. Right to the point. Easy to follow and see each detail on the process. Thank you so much!! Very informative and helpful!

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.

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

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

Great job in showing how simple this process is. Could you also please list the tools used to complete this project? Thanks.

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???

This was very helpful. I'm redoing the exact same style of chair except mine has a removable seat cushion. Now I need help with how to sew the cord trim around those nooks and crannies where the arms are.

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.

Steam the chair back cushion to freshen it. Chose a fabric without such an obvious pattern or buy enough fabric to match the chair back, front, and bottom.

You did an amazing job and this was very helpful 💗

Thanks for sharing this. Why did you use different types of webbing? Was there any reason or just because that's what you had?

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, I must have the tools first to finish a good clean product 👌👍👏

Thank you for this video!! Best upholstery one on RU-vid

The older fabric looked much more attractive, just looks like a normal chair now

A good example of not matching fabric properly on reupholstery

This is very helpful, thank you!!

Good step by step but don't you worry about pattern repeat or matching?

Hi! So I couldn’t tell if tacks, brads or staples were loaded into that nail gun, great video but definitely could have used some follow along commentary. Thank you!

Just the guidance i needed! Beautiful

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.

I reupholsterd the same exact chair but in red velvet.

Very clever lady, thank you!

Great job! Chair wood would have looked good white also

Just gorgeous!!!

What type of material is what you put on before the cushion? It looks like bands?

Great video but instead of the music, which is not easy to listen to for that whole time, I would have liked to just hear you comment once in a while about what you are doing.

What are the strips called?

Is there any better way to do backrest... So that staple/pins don't stick out

did you notice your fabric pattern is crooked and off-balance?

Wow! Fantastic job!

You can also take a pea of wood glue on ur finger tip, and very carefully smooth it over the old staple holes!

Great job! Thank you for the tutorial.

excellent

Gorgeous!

Some parts are narrow from phone camera which could’ve been held wide wise to film so one can see better. All in all I’d feel comfortable in doing this from the video thank you 👍

You didn't center the fabric pattern on the chair?? why?

Nice!

Can you tell us how many yards of fabric the chair used? Thank you.

How much fabric did you use for this chair?

love this material. Where did you purchase it from?

super helpful! Thank you!

How much fabric did u use? Beautiful

Chipped the wood. Taking out the staples.

You make it look sooooo easy! Let’s hope I can do to. 😝

beautifully done, thank you for sharing!!

Dommage de ne pas avoir centré les motifs, le tissu est plus tendu d'un côté et en traditionnel c'est bien plus beau mais beaucoup plus difficile à faire ;-)

Handy woman!

This is a good one🎂 I will do this on my next restoration❤

Where can I buy the foam?

What are the green straps?

Where did you purchase this fabric ?

What are the green strips?

Very nice! What did you use to cut the cushion?

椅子背上的钉子不会露出来么

To bad your pattern is way off on back of chair ☺️

Better to do the back of the seat horizontally

👍

You needed a long nose gun to make it easier on you.

A lady wanted to charge me $200 per chair to do this..wow...

How many yards of fabric did you use?
