ETA: I forgot to mention (like BK said)...You have to put a square (rectangle) of material on the back to finish it off nicely, I glued mine and it's been over 4 years....still being used :)

Would be a shame to get rid of the Wicker once you had it redone. If it were mine, I would just recover the seats with really nice fabric. I have recovered my dining room chairs three times, and left the backs as they were. Mine are caned.

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions, bc I like the one about repainting and adding new upholstery. I was thinking of doing this very thing to my dining room set.
What I want to know is, since mine are stained, can i just spray paint them...or do it after using a kilz product...can't think of what you call it...when you use a....__ that word, lol...I have done it to walls, but never on stained furniture.
I can't wait to see yours, Henry. Then maybe I will get motivated to do mine. :-D
