If you need to repair or reupholster your chair, then you should contact Foxwood Restorations!
While chairs are used for sitting, people tend to forget how well-designed this piece of furniture is. Typically, chairs usually don’t weigh that much but are capable of supporting a couple hundred pounds. This includes when it is being rocked or tilted back on two legs. This strength is possible because of the thoughtful position of the bracings between the legs, back, and seat. Materials also play a major factor in the durability and strength of a chair.
So, it is easy to understand how a chair can lose its durability over time. Your chair’s joints could become loose, putting greater strain on the other joints which can cause them to weaken and separate. However, repairing and reupholstering your chair can be a challenge, especially if you have never done it before.
