Question
DEAR MARK, I HAVE THIS OLD CHAIR THAT IV'E STRIPPED TO FIND THE SEAT HAS ABOUT 15 SPRINGS WHICH 7 ARE BROKEN, EXPLAINING THE SEAT. DECIDED TO KEEP THIS MESS, TRYING TO FIX IT. I'VE LOOKED BUT CANNOT FIND A PLACE TO ORDER REPLACEMENT SPRINGS, 7IN HEIGHT. CAN YOU HELP ME. THANKS
Hi, type "upholstery supplies" into your search engine and many sights will come up, or go to www.rochfordsuply.com/shop/Upholstery. Since coil springs are cheap you may have to buy a small bundle, be certain to replace all the springs and not just the broken ones.
Mark Miller.

| Comment | Having this sight available cleared all my misgiving about replacing the seat in the "chair"! My question w/ answer gave me the confidence to move on with project. Having an "expert" available to share knowledge without taking over my project or deflating my ego is a HUGE... GO GO! THANKS | ||
