Repair too another upholster shocking workmanship.

[@rmackenzie]

Just stumbled across your channel and really enjoying your videos. Its so frustrating to see what this 'upholsterer' tried to get away with. The sad thing is that some customers dont realise and the upholsterer gets away with it. All the best 👍

@rmackenzie thank you for your comment. It is shocking at times, and unfortunately lot of time it comes down to cost, not quilty. But in this case the customer had paid good money and just got a bad job.

@@Hammondsupholstery I am like you, I try to be kind about others work but there are not really any excuses on this chair other than the person took on a job they clearly couldnt do. In addition that fabric is from PT's Glencoe range and as you will know it is one of the thicker fabrics you will work with....even more so if they bothered to get it treated to comply with the FR regulations.

😮 totally shocked. I feel very sad for the owner. What a shame. I hope the owner phoned the person who gave them the recommendation to let him/ her know that were not pleased. This was very difficult for you and I am very glad it was at least possible to give the owner a better base to sit on with the fabric you had to work with. Great job!

It was a shocking workmanship. I was able to make the chair at least usable for the customer.i appreciate your comments, and thanks for your feedback.

@@Hammondsupholstery I am studying upholstery right now. At school I haven’t even ever seen such shoddy workmanship 😟

[@Hammondsupholstery]

​@@stien9330it was very poor work for someone claiming to be a professional and charging according. Such poor workmanship is the reason the public undervalue skilled craftsmanship.

Very interested and informative. The side rails aren't very thick timber but could I fix another piece of timber onto side rails to hold a piece of plywood into the base . There is a large space or cavity between the webbing and the bottom so I could put a piece of high density foam between the plywood and the webbing to hold the webbing up for more support Your advice will be greatly appreciated

[@Hammondsupholstery]

Thanks for reaching out. Little hard to make recommendations without having seen the chair. But if your concern is the rails strength. You could remove the webs and fix a plywood board to the top, then add your foam to that. That keeps it simple and adds strength. I hope that helps.

Please help. How do I fix a chair exactly like this one. It doesn't have springs in it only webbing at the bottom and it's collapsed
