Can you please advise the best way to repair the armrests. Thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @sol and thanks for reaching out with your question. We'd be happy to help.
Let me tag @prettyliving, @LizzieCro and @EricL for their suggestions.
Is the damage just on one armrest or does it look similar on the other chairs too?

Hello @sol
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. Thank you so much for joining us and sharing your question about how to repair your outdoor chairs.
It's great that you've received excellent advice from @brendawebster44. I would take her suggestion and just take it one step further. After you've glued all the loose strips back together, I recommend building a timber armrest that will protect your weaved chair from further damage. I've drawn an example below.
You may build it out of an 1800 x 450 x 18mm Clear Pine FJ Laminated Panel. The example I've placed only goes outside and is not fixed in any way so that you can remove it and give it a wash. Please have a look at the drawing and tell me what you think. If you wish to see it in another configuration, please let me know. I will be more than happy to re-draw it for you.
Let me tag our experienced members @woodenwookie and @woodalwaysworks for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi all,
I want to share with you what I ended up doing. I feel proud of how I made my armchairs look. Let me know what you think.
That looks amazing, @sol! The bare frame and webbing are such a great look. Who would have thought?!
Congrats on coming up with a creative solution to this issue; you've done a wonderful job.
Many thanks for sharing your results.
