As the title says - is there a tipping point where seat are too far gone to be worth holding on it? I know that you can rebuild just about anything but is there a point where it's just not worth it?
To be more specific - how torn/missing chucks can be bottom seat cushion be and still be usable? |

You can cut new foam for the bases as well as plywood to replace particle board. You will need the metal catch for the front of the base. The foam on the bucket can be repaired. For the most part they are all rebuild able, just some will require more new content than others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Hi - thanks for jumping in. Doesn't that really mean that "yes", there is a point where you need to just ditch what is there and start over? I'm trying to figure out when the existing foams are too far gone. Thanks! |
