Although this chaise has a rich family history, it’s “family” thought it needed a makeover before moving from storage into the sunroom. 

Removing all the old fabric and padding is the first step in reupholstry.  The original horsehair padding is dry and some worn to a powder consistency.  You can see it on the table under the chaise in picture 3.  However, solidly made from hardwood, the frame will last for generations.

We rebuilt the seat springs by installing new support webbing.  Springs were then hand-tied into position with the traditional eight-way tie method and covered with synthetic burlap and a layer of deck pad for protection.  Finally, foam and polyester wrap give the seat a superb feel, not to mention the back and arms.  It is important to use high-density foam to assure long wear and comfort.

Omitting the skirt gives the chaise a clean, contemporary look.

The Duralee “flip-flop” design fabric lends itself perfectly to a lakeside sunroom. 

Proving to be a real attention-getter in our showroom, the chaise inspired several customers to have fun with their fabric selection.

Let it inspire you!
