Can worn guest chairs be reupholstered instead of replaced?

If the frame is structurally sound, reupholstering is a cost-effective option — many commercial guest chairs have a slip seat (a removable padded seat attached with 4–6 screws) that you can take to any upholstery shop for fabric replacement. It's worth it when the bones of the chair are good and only the fabric has worn out. FindOfficeFurniture.com can advise on which models in the lineup have reupholstery-friendly slip-seat designs — call 888-719-4960.
