    This is exactly how I wish tutorials are. You teach patience. No music to distract from looking and learning. You are thorough. Your pacing is perfect. Not to fast, nothing too slow to bore me. You talk through temptations to rush and make mistakes. You are very thoughtful of questions that would arise on the moment. You reinforce safety and step by step behavior. Your West Indian accent and realness shines through. Positive. Motivational. I love what you have done and appreciate you sharing. I hope you flip furniture as a side hustle. Brilliant work. Thank you.

    Thank you for doing this tutorial! You make it look pretty easy. And you’ve done such a terrific job on this chair. WHAT a transformation already. Hopping over to part now! I have a chair that is SO comfortable, but the thing looks awful. It’s had bleach spilled on it and it’s been through so many pets. I’m worried about starting with this because fabric has to be expensive.

    Reupholstery processes often have amazing results. I wonder if the same can be done with "atypical" models like the Togo chair. I have one from Manhattan Home Design and, although it still looks impeccable, I'd like to know if I'll be able to reupholster it in the future, if I want to renew its appearance.

    Stanley's staple gun is good. It doubles as a nail gun too. Its electric and not air pressure so its not as scary. Also next time try using a curved needle. Like the ones the use for weave, that way you don't play Russian roulette with your fingers going under the chair. I have this same chair and I've been worried about starting on it.

    An air compressor and nail gun work great! You can use the nail/staple gun on things other than upholstery. You will find a million things the air compressor can be used for and will pay for itself in no time. I bought my first one at an estate sale over 15 yrs ago. It still works great just bought another recently for my daughter.
