Hey guys just wondering if the chair would be worth fixing up. I've taken the chair apart and there is no evidence of it every having springs and it must have had 200 tacks holding the material on. Also the chair is out of alignment. I figured the chair would have been made a little bit better than what it is. All but one corner brace was just about to come off.

Thanks



There is a real heavy piece of canvas in place of springs.

The chair needs refinishing but that's something I've never done. What the best and easiest way to do this.I'll post a few more pics a little later.
Again thanks for all the help.
