How to drag a computer chair with their own hands.

Computer chairs - a very common piece of furniture.

Working sitting on a computer chair is much more convenient than on a chair or stool.

The service life of the chair depends on its quality and the materials from which it is made.

Most often, the coating of which the seats and backs are made is deformed and loses its strength.

Woven materials can be torn by careless use, artificial leather cracks and gets scuffed. The chair becomes uncomfortable and looks unattractive.

Buying a new computer chair is an expensive solution.

Remains the most budget way - constriction. Many people think that this procedure can be carried out only in special workshops.

But constriction office chair is easy to implement at home.

Advantages of a banner upholstery do-it-yourself:

• You do not need to pay for the work of the master.
• Hauling a chair at home will take from 30 minutes to 1 hour - this is much faster than in the workshop.
• The chair does not need to carry anywhere, you can replace the upholstery in the apartment.

  By pulling a chair with your own hands, you can save both time and money.

Necessary materials

For work, we first need a cloth.

The best option - a dense upholstery.

What materials are not worth buying? There are few exceptions.

1. Artificial leather.

The canvas will quickly become scuffed and lose its original appearance due to constant friction.

2. Thin, lightweight fabric.

Such material is susceptible to damage from sharp objects, including pointed elements on clothing.

If the seat has lost its former softness, and the foam lining is strongly wrinkled, then you need to buy foam rubber, it will make the chair more pleasant and more comfortable.

It is easy to find in sewing stores.

What needs repair?

The fabric layer can be replaced only on the seat or on the back (if the damage is present on one of the elements).

To do this, you will need much less material than for a complete repair of an office chair.

How to take measurements and how much fabric to buy?

We have already dealt with the right look and quality of the fabric. The amount of tissue can be measured in several ways.

• Take measurements from the back and seat. If you plan to add additional foam, you should consider this item in the removal of measurements. To the data obtained (the length and width of the back and chair) must be added 5 cm.
  

  The fabric will be attached from the inside, for this you need allowances.

• You can first disassemble the chair and remove the old coating.
  

  This can cause difficulties, as the upholstery is tightly braced to the frame parts.

  Then you should measure the ready-made tucks by adding allowances for using foam rubber.

Required Tools

For the waist of the old office chair will need the following tools and equipment:

• Furniture stapler (to secure the new upholstery) and brackets for it. ;
  

  The size is indicated on the stapler.

• Screwdriver or screwdriver;
  

  For dismantling the design and fit the one and the other tool.

Seat attachment points.

It is better to fold all the cogs in one place, so that by the end of the repair the seats simply do not lose them. Now you can proceed to the waist.

  Staples to be removed.

  Carefully work with the stapler, this tool is quite powerful.

  

  Stretch the new upholstery, securing it from the back of the base of the seat and backrest.

The hardest part of the job is fitting the right parts.

To do this, you must perform everything in stages, following the scheme of parsing the chair, but performing the manipulations in reverse order.
