Needle nose pliers have a spring action which saves on your hands. I use an upholstery staple remover to pry off the old staples and then I use needle nose pliers to pull the staples out. Removing staples from wood furniture is time consuming and tedious but if you use the right tools it can speed up the process. The upholstery was well done but the fabric had to go. The fabric on the chairs tells a story about age of the furnitureįrom the look of the fabric, I could tell the chairs had been upholstered in the 1980’s and that the set was probably a reproduction. This is what it looked like when they pulled in the driveway! So my husband asked a friend to go down to the thrift shop (which was about an hour away!) the next day and pick up the set. The problem was our vehicle would not carry six chairs and a dining room table along with the the two bases that came with the table. The shop owner told me she had had the dining room set for a very long time and when she offered me such a low price for the set I couldn’t refuse. But I was hopeful that someone was inside. My husband thought I was a nut because the store looked closed. I know – I have an eagle eye! We had to stop!! My eyes spotted the Duncan Phyfe dining room chairs from the road as we were traveling 55 mph. We were traveling home from Virginia after visiting our son and daughter-in-law and one of our daughters and we passed by a thrift store that looked closed. Join me as I transform a broken down dining table and chairs! The results are amazing! Today I’m excited to share with you a beautiful dining room set!
