This was an unusual stool. It was used as a seat but the labelling made it clear it was only to be used as a footstool! Fortunately the construction was very solid – just the faux leather top had worn out and a new cover was needed.
The stool was tipped over and the leg assembly removed. Five clips anchored cords.
The zip was opened and, after the cords holding down the centre seam of the seat were cut, the cushion pad and a plywood panel was removed.
The old cover was measured and new cover pieces prepared. The back was made from two pieces to include a zip.
The new cover was made incorporating the original piping core – which was a clear plastic tube.
The plywood panel was used to mark the positions of the fixing bolts for the base.
The end holes were also marked. They were used to position two buttons.
The buttons were added, placed evenly, on the top of the cushion.
They were held underneath using the original clips.
The base was then bolted back on to complete the project.
