I had to reupholster 6 bar stools the same shape. I watched several videos and just couldn't get a clean look and was failing miserably, then found your video. I followed it and finished the project in a couple days. The most time consuming part was removing all the staples from the existing upholstery. Thank you for your straight-forward video, my bar stools came out beautiful! By the way, I loved how you didn't speak and just displayed the simple instructions. Thank you!
I have a wicker round short back chair that needs a cushion. There is no wooden cushion base but I could create one. The chair has a 1/4 inch fiber or particleboard base. Think I need to think about first putting a thicker base on the chair first and then creating a cushion. The cushion design would be almost identical to the chair design in this video. Thank you.
What is the thickness of the foam? Before and after? Should I go with an inch thicker than I intend on finished cushion?? Remake this with comments and you won’t have to answer questions all the time 😍
Hi, thanks for watching and the suggestion. Think that this was 1.5” thick foam same as the original but a much firmer grade. You don’t usually need to make the foam thicker than the original and if you did it would only be a small amount not 1”. Just use a firmer foam and it will make a big difference.
can I get a list of tools and materials needed (for a beginner) and links to purchase them if possible. I really like the fabric you used if you can point me to where I can find it, I would appreciate it thanks
Hi, thank you for watching. You could probably get most of the tools needed to start from Amazon to do dining seats and not have to spend too much money. An electric stapler would work if it’s a good one and will be much cheaper than a compressor and gun set up, we use Kai scissors but cheaper ones would suffice for a start, the pincers are available in most hardware stores, the staple lifter is called a spade staple lifter and might need a specialist site for that. For foam and fabric we would recommend speaking to your local upholsterer as they will usually be happy to supply to the public and possibly even have fabric remnants to sell like we do to local classes etc. Hope this helps you with your project, feel free to as for any more advise or email us contact@premierupholstery.co.uk 😄
Thanks for watching. It’s usually best to visit a local upholsterer as you can see the different densities and if they’re nice they’ll even cut it to shape. If not then there are websites you can buy from and the stuff we usually like to use for dining seats is called 50 hard and is white in colour in the UK, alternatively 39 blue could be used but it’s not as firm.
This is great to watch, I’m needing to do the same for an upholstered headboard. What would you say the minimum radius curve is that can be done without the fabric needing to be folded like at the front 2 corners? I’m looking to have about 50mm radius curves on the edges of the headboard, but thinking after this video that it will be too tight a curve.
Hi thanks for watching. It would probably be too tight a radius at 50mm for fabric but could be possible in vinyl / faux leather if you heat it up so it stretches a bit. It’s probably a case of trial and error with a few different radius to work out the minimum for the specific fabric as they all behave slightly different.
@@premierupholstery-upholste90 Thanks! I got the edges to work today using a 100mm radius on a headboard build up of 12mm plywood backing, 40mm foam and batting over.
Hi and thanks for watching. We use type 71 staples which are very easy to source and then we use either 4,6,10, or 12mm depending on what we are stapling. For dining chairs like these we would usually use 10mm.
Hi, thank you for watching. We would recommend speaking to a local upholsterer as they would be able to advise which density would best suit your needs and also cut to shape and size. We find the best foam for dining chairs is 50h white foam which is very high density.
It’s a pneumatic staple gun, you can find them online and in some good hardware stores, you need a compressor and an air line to go with it, it’s worth searching for second hand ones on eBay etc as there are bargains around
Thank you for getting to the point and showing exactly what to do without all the time-consuming chatter!!
You’re more than welcome, we like to get strait into it 😄 and thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching and the great comments, so happy that our videos are helping people! We are trying to keep things as simple as possible 😁
I had 4 barstools that needed to be recovered with heavy vinyl and this video helped me with the round back. Thank you!
Thank you for such a useful video. Feel a lot more confident to tackle my dining chairs.
Thank you for watching and best of luck with your chairs
instablaster...
You make it look so easy 🥰
Thank you, practice makes perfect and we have probably done over a thousand 😅 thank you for watching
By the way, great job! You made that look so easy and I know is not.
Thanks for watching and nice comments, after doing a few thousand you get the hang of it 😄
Words would have been helpful but still, good video
Thank you for watching, yes we are working on doing videos with talking instructions
Music makes me want a staple in my head
Sorry 😅 but thank you for watching!
You are really good! I liked it. Please give us a verbal advice to in your next projects. Thanks!
Thank you for watching, ok will keep that in mind and try out for the next video 😬
Great work
Thank you very much and thanks for watching 😃
Gosh such a great job.

Thank you! I couldn’t figure out how to do it with no pleats on the curved side.

Is it just me, but does that fabric look like raw hamburger? Beautifully done!
Thanks for watching, yes it does a bit, we don’t think it would be as good as a McDonalds though 😁

Good video but the music was annoying!
Hi, thanks for watching. Yes we know but unfortunately are limited by our basic video skills and iMovie on a phone 😄.
just having you talk through the steps and no music would be better - but great job done :}
Where can I buy replacement foam as in your video? Thanks!

How much do you charged for that kind of work?
Hi, thanks for watching. Price completely depends on fabric and whether or not new fillings are required.
Where did you purchase that fabric?
Hello and thank you for watching. This fabric was from a UK company called Covertex from their Vulcano range
Where do you find the foam for this?

well that was easy
Thanks for watching, we’ve done quite a few and practice makes perfect 😃
Wonderful Job...I need that machine you have to staple what is it and where can I buy one?
It’s a pneumatic staple gun, you can find them online and in some good hardware stores, you need a compressor and an air line to go with it, it’s worth searching for second hand ones on eBay etc as there are bargains around
Kill the music
Yes that seems to be the general consensus 😄 future videos won’t have soundtrack. Thanks for watching!
