If you have a Steelcase think chair that needs a little love, reupholstering it is not as difficult as you might think. With a few tools and some patience, you can give your chair a whole new look.
Here's what you'll need:
-Screwdriver
-Plyers
-Staple Gun
-Fabric of your choice (enough to cover the seat and back of the chair)
-Foam padding (optional)
- batting or other stuffing material (optional)
First, remove the old fabric from the chair. Start by unscrewing the four screws that hold on the arms of the chair. Then, using your screwdriver and plyers, remove all of the upholstery staples from the seat and backrest. Be careful not to damage the wood beneath the fabric as you remove it. If there is foam padding or other stuffing material attached to the fabric, you can remove this as well. Now it's time to choose your new fabric. Measure how much fabric you will need to cover both The seat and backrest then add an extra inch or two for seam allowance. Cut out your new pieces of fabric using these measurements. If you want to add foam padding or batting for extra comfort, now is the time to do that. Place your new piece of fabric over The old one and staple it into place around The perimeter of The seat, making sure that The pattern lines up if there is one. Repeat this step for The backrest piece of fabric . Once both pieces are covered , reattach The arms using The screws you removed earlier . And That's it! You've successfully given your Steelcase think chair a brand new look
