How to Reupholster Dining Chairs (seats and backs)
February 11, 2025 - I didn't start out knowing how to reupholster a chair with piping so I ended up reusing the piping that I took off of the seat cushions as a guide. I don't have a picture, but I took off the vinyl that you see below and used the piping inside. Then measured out how long it needed to be by laying it along the existing piping on the seat backs and cut it to size. I cut a 2 inch wide strip of my fabric (be sure it goes in the direction you want) so that when I fold it over the piping I will have 1 inch on each side.

January 13, 2022 - Cut away excess fabric as close as possible to the seam. Now, I don’t have upholstery needles or knowledge, so I hot glued my cording on.

r/upholstery on Reddit: How to Upholster Dining Chair Backing?
March 11, 2023 -
I understand how to reupholster the seat part. That screws off and is easy. But how am I suppose to remove the backing part? I’ve tried and it seems glued on or something. Anyone have advice? There are zero videos on YouTube on how to deal with this type of backing on a Scandinavian dining chair.
I made an effort to remove some of the material on the backing to see what was holding it in place (that’s what you see in the pictures). I can’t find any screws or anything. I tried prying it loose with a screwdriver. It feels like it’s glued on real tight.

Update
I removed the padding from the top of chair and there’s no obvious way to remove the wood backing. I tried prying it away with screwdriver but it’s stuck on good. Should I just call it a day and bring in the professionals?
