Rebecca on Feb 05, 2015I agree that your settee should be finished rather than painted. I have a similar suite of furniture. The seat should be sprung, supported by jute webbing. It will be a wonderful piece when you're finished. Good luck!Helpful Reply

GLHF on Mar 19, 2015Thank you for posting the link on the chair. I have some chairs myself that need to be upholstered, but they aren't the easier ones. They have springs needing to be tied. I've always had an interest in how to properly do this.Helpful Reply
