Hi DIYers
just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the back chair pad from this type of chair, or even what this type of chair is called so i can google it? I cant seem to see any screws or any To take it apart, but it does slide up and down a little so i’m wondering if i can just pop it out?
than you!
Hi @Ned1,
Could you show us the back of the chair and underneath, too, please? That might help identify how the pads are fixed in place. If you can't see any obvious fixings, then they could have used concealed fixings. Some concealed fixings require the destruction of the material covering to reveal. They might have stretched the material over spikes that then get tapped down once the material is in position.
Let me mention @Jewelleryrescue to see if they have any thoughts.

Hi!
thanks so much for responding. I just had another look, and managed to pop it out with my trusty butter knife! It looks like it should all go back together really simply after a bit of a revamp. 😊
Hi @Ned1 and @MitchellMc
Its good to panels popped out and the seat as the normal staple point where hidden, The seat particularly looked like the materal was stapled to a base board on top of the seat. But more initial photos where required to show possible construction from under and behind which is a mute point now clearly
By the way that chair leg design is called SABRE and the chair is a modern version,
Enjoy your re upholstery project
Ah great, thanks for clarifying the name of the chair - that’s really good to know!
Hi Katie
I have six of these and the plan is to paint them in white chalk paint and recover in a shabby chic pale pink floral
Hi @Ned1,
Oh, that sounds lovely! Please post a photo when you have finished, we would love to see what you've created.
