I have 40 year old dining room chairs that were finished in a antique greenish white (UGLY). I want to restain them in a natural looking wood finish. Do I need to strip the old finish? Do I need to apply a base? HELP!!!!! Thanks much.

I have a cherry wood table that is about 40 years old and the chairs are falling apart. The table is great but the chairs are bad and I only want to replace them. I wanted to get something other than wood chairs any suggestions

We had a barb-e-que and I brought out our dining room chairs for extra seating. We lit a fire on the evening and now my chairs smell very strongly of wood smoke. Any ideas how I can kill this smell. It is transferring onto our clothes. Thanks The chairs are wood with a black leather seating cushion.

I am re-doing my dining room chairs and would like to know if 5lb. density 2.5 in. memory foam would be a good choice or should I just go with medium firm 2.5 in. regular foam. I am going to wrap the foam in batting before I put the fabric on the chairs. Also would 2.5 inches be thick enouph or should I do 3 inches? Please give details as to which foam would be better and why.

I 've got old dining room chairs and I want to reupholster the seats. But the screws are stuck underneath so I can't unscrew them to get the seats off. Any suggestions? Any way to loosen the screws? Thanks!

I'm recovering my upholstered dining room chairs' seats. The old seats were covered in a solid color. The new fabric I bought has a floral, tapestry type pattern with a definite top and bottom. Should the top of the pattern go at the back (where your back goes) or the front (where your legs go) of the seat? The backs are not upholstered. Thanks!!

I have dining room chairs that have a resin like wood. any tips on how to strip and re-stain it? we got this dining room set and realized after we got it home that there was this resin like wood on the back of the chairs and on the columns of the table. We did notice that it is easy to strip off, but we are not sure on how to re-stain it. We did try to re-stain on a spot that is hard to see, but the stain seems to wipe off when it is dried.

Season 6 Episode called Upscale Beach Cottage. I loved the wicker like chairs that David placed on at either ends of the dining room table. I searched everywhere and cannot find them including Ikea, Pottery Barn, Z Gallerie, Target and googled them too. Help Please!

The dining room table has a clear glass top, cast iron looking base, chairs match except they have a light beige cushion that is attached. They are all stained and looking a mess. What can I do to give them a makeover? I would like the cushions to either be all black or maybe red or orange. How do i go about this? Any artistic crafty ideas?
