1987 Steelcase Refurbished Office Chair
Intro: 1987 Steelcase Refurbished Office Chair
Had a blast doing this chair for cheap. Cost me $60.00:
STEP 1:
STEP 2:
already taken apart
STEP 3:
A $15.00 blanket from Walmart will do.
STEP 4:
Make sure you give your self room when cutting your fabric of choise
STEP 5:
Stapled and glued fabric, while stretching. I went over the exsisting fabric
STEP 6:
Completed bottom and top
STEP 7:
New hardware in place, i know the chrome is messed up, but i will do that another day.
STEP 8:
used some cool bolts to hold it together, something different.
STEP 9:
Striped the armrest.
STEP 10:
I needed more padding, My roomate gave me this car wash thing to use. Yes i know foam would of been more ideal, but i have to use what i have and this is a build for under $60.00
STEP 11:
I started glueing, wraping, and trimming.
STEP 12:
One down, there is a difference!
STEP 13:
both done, but time to recycle those strips, so lets glue and layer.
STEP 14:
keep stacking, one down.
STEP 15:
And keep trimming, and more trimming.
STEP 16:
Wrap and glue, Wrap and glue, trim, trim, and almost done!
STEP 17:
And done, everything together! pretty nice actually for 24 years old.
Future modifications:
paint all chrome flat black
fiberglass the back of the chair into something cool.
weld double wheel caster, and then modify to put skateboard wheels in.
Well all that when i do have money.

I tried reupholstering one of my office chairs and the seat frame was made from some heavy duty plastic. I think you needed an industrial stapler to tack the fabric down since the staples and brads couldn't penetrate. I gave up and sewed a drawstring around my seat cover to attach to the chair.
