I am trying to recover this chair and I had to cut the top off of these black plastic things that attached the wood to the frame. Does anyone know where I can get replacements? What are they called? Thanks.

yes I think those are screw covers to hide the screw try Lowes in the hardware section . look for specialty screw plug or ask salesman.

If they are screw covers as suggested by Joseph then I don't think you need to replace them. I would just cover the head of the screw with duck tape.

Thank you for your response. They are not screw covers, they are like big plastic screws but with flat tops. They would have to be hammered in. I was able to pry one out part way and saw they have threads something like screws.

Why don't you just chuck them and replace them with regular screws?
