Question
Hi,

I bought these nice antique-ish chairs that I wanted to reupholster. But upon inspecting it repeatedly, I can't seem to find the screws that hold the cushion to the base?!! I took some pictures to help. Please let me know what to do. thanks!

Answer
Can you email me pictures of the chair? Especially the underneath part. A few pictures of the bottom and I should be able to figure it out. I hope the chair isn't too old. I think back in the day they used wooden dowels to apply the seats to the chairs and they just glued them on. Which would make things very difficult.
