Thank you ...I am so pleased on how it came out and also how easy it was. I was so afraid of ruining the chair but after watching some utubes I found out that you just need to take off the furniture trim then put on fabric fold under fabric, staple and then glue on new furniture trim. So simple. ; ) Quick and Easy.

That's awesome! I recently recovered my kitchen chairs with 4 yards of fabric my mom got for $1. It was the best feeling! They look so elegant (unless you look at the bottoms...) ROFL
