THE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN. And I've watched A TON of upholstery videos. So helpful and easy to understand! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Wow, the best video I have watched(and I have viewed many) on reupholstering a chair seat. The visuals, and audio are perfect. Your knowledge, and expertise attest to the fact that you are truly a Master Upholsterer! I'm redoing just one chair. But, I was really struggling with the corners on the chair seat. After watching this I realized it was about so much more than the corners. Now I feel confident in getting the job done. Thank you for taking the time to share your expert advice.

Thank you. I like how you break down all your instructions. I am a beginner and did not where to begin. I'm here stuck in my home during corona virus pandemic. Now is time to start this again.

Wonderful. We have a very old chair which needs a new seat. I followed the instructions and în an hour my wife had a new cushion and she was very happy. And for a hubby’s DIY project that was the goal.

You have given me new hope! I have six old chairs to do and this was super helpfful!!!

[darleneb]

Thank you, crazy skills you have. You make it look so easy, I'm sure it will take more than 15 minutes for me to staple it down and get the corners right!😂

Landscape fabric as dust cover? Never thought about it and now it seems so obvious! Thanks!

[nonathomas]

Great video. I really appreciated you giving the material information concerning replacement of the set padding. The detailed steps and explaination set this presentation apart from others

Very informative easy to understand I'm just barely getting into trying to reupholster some old furniture that's at my parents house I don't like throwing stuff away so I'm trying to surprise them your video helps out a lot thank you I don't have any of the tools you're using and I got a hand stapler going to try my best

Great info, sadly my chair is different. It has some kind of webbing that is damaged.
I will work around it and tour video has given me the courage to open it and fix it. Thank you!

[sheilajones]

Great detailed yet simple instruction- I could not find any videos showing how to cut the foam correctly - thank you

[LKeenan]

THANKS!!!! Looked a long time for a good, simple corner demo!

[joebaker]

Thanks for the video! It really helped us figure out how to do the job without much hassle. The corners were really tough because our fabric was pretty thick. With practice and patience, the job is halfway done. I'll have the other 3 chairs done before dinner on Saturday! thanks again Barry!
