This isn’t necessarily a difficult piece to recover, but there are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to try to tackle it yourself. I would suggest:

  1. Be careful removing the old fabric and double welt cord so you don’t knick/scratch the wood (buying a staple pulling tool like this one can help with control and lessen the chance of damaging the wood) https://www.amazon.com/C-S-Osborne-Spoon-Staple-Puller/dp/B07DNF34JJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=cs+osborne+upholstery+tools&qid=1573576886&sprefix=cs+osborne+&sr=8-12)

  2. Save the fabric pattern and cut your new piece slightly bigger. (About an inch or 2) This allows you to have enough excess to get a grip on and pull the fabric tight while stapling.

  3. Start at one side and put a couple of staples in and then move to the opposite side until you’ve put a few staples in on each of the 4 sides to ‘set’ your fabric in place. (Don’t worry about any ‘overhang’, you’ll cut that off •very carefully• with a razor blade once you’ve stapled everything down.) Once you have it set you can work outwardly from those few staples you put in on each side pulling the fabric tight as you go. If you start to get a wrinkle or weird spot, just pull out the last couple staples and work on it until you get it right.

    4.when you come to legs or arm rests you may have to snip the fabric and fold it under a bit to get it to go around areas like that. Just snip carefully and make small cuts to start. You can always make the cuts bigger if you need to until it looks right.

  4. If you’re not going to make the double welt yourself you’ll have to find a pre-made cord, or you could use nail heads to cover he edges if you want to change the look of the chair up. If you stick with double welt, there’s a secret to attaching welt to pieces like this...hot glue.

    Good luck! If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask :)
