Reupholstering the seat of a chair

Jul.22/2024
It's been about 25 years since I bought this chair, and the seat of the dining chair was beginning to tear, so I decided to replace the seat.
1.There is a crack in the center. It lasted me well for 25 years.
2.Remove the seat from the chair and turn it over.
3.There was a non-woven makeup fabric attached to the back with staples, but it was a pain to remove the staples and the non-woven fabric had deteriorated, so I ripped it off.
4.Next, remove the synthetic leather, which is firmly fixed with staples, so drive a flathead screwdriver into the gap between the staples and pop it up a little.
5.Next, pull out the staple with pliers. This work was quite tiring because there were a lot of staples.
6.Decided to reupholster it with genuine leather that in stock. The leather is about 2mm thick and in good condition. First, cut it into 640mm square pieces.
7.Turn the leather over and place the seat on it. I would have regretted it later if I should have replaced the urethane or added another layer at this time.
8.An electric tacker that I bought to attach leather. DCM brand T-GT-2. I wanted to buy an air type with more power, but I thought I might not use it that much in the future, so I decided on this one.
9.12 x 10mm staples that came with the tacker. Tucker can be equipped with one set (100 pieces).
10.Finish fixing the leather with staples. The R part of the corner was difficult, but my wife and I managed to complete it with the help of two people. I thought about putting non-woven fabric on it to hide the wrinkles, but my wife said, ``You can't see it, and it's not a product for sale, so this might be fine,'' so I stopped putting it on.
Completed reupholstering 2 legs. The seat is a little hard because I didn't replace the urethane,
but the two-tone color makes it look good.
