    Newly retired and thought I would try my hand at re-upholstering our kitchen island chairs. Your videos have been great in helping me learn the techniques. 4 down and 2 to go. I particularly had issues with the oval chair back and working from the top and bottom to the sides but your method worked much better.

    what do you think about this chair design? i really don't like it. it looks basic and it's not pretty and on top of that it seems to be more complex to work with than others. uses a lot of fabric for the back part and there's no real benefit because of it. when you handle the chair you will grab on the fabric and the fabric only helps with holding on to dirt. it's more difficult to clean than wood. seems like no upside to this design.

Which is gray,tan and gold. So I'm going the chairs in a gold striped print. I can't wait to get it all done. I show you the pics if you like

We also have a couple of chairs that have a (solid) wooden back with padding in the middle section of the back. they also have a padded seat. Any idea what these chairs are called? Also what's the best way to take off the old fabric?
