Wooden chairs

Experts believe wood is one of the most suitable materials for the manufacture of furniture. This is due to the fact that wooden furnishings have not only a decent look, but also optimally combine environmental friendliness and quality. Therefore, almost every branded furniture factory necessarily includes in its range of wooden chairs.

Chairs made of wood can have a different style and decor, you can also choose the texture of the surface, which mainly depends on the type of wood used to make the product. The most affordable raw material for chairs is pine. This is due to the fact that this type of tree grows in almost all climatic zones of our country.

To create a truly high-quality model, you need not make a mistake in choosing the type of tree. It will depend on how strong the product will be. Also, this factor affects the shade of the chair. For example, if a walnut is used as the source material, the model will have a soft light color, moreover, no cracks will appear in its structure, which happens with products from other raw materials. Oak is considered one of the most expensive materials.

When buying a wooden chair, you must be guided by the following criteria:

• No visible defects. The frame of the product should not have chips or small burrs;

The main property of solid wood is that it consists entirely of wood and does not have any synthetic impurities. Naturally, this characteristic affects the quality of the product. Furniture made of solid wood is notable for its high accuracy and adds even a simple interior a touch of elegance and high aesthetics.

The durability of such seats is associated with the characteristics of the structure of wood and its chemical properties.

Due to the fact that the solid wood retains sufficient elasticity while maintaining a certain temperature, in the manufacturing process, the product can be given any shape at all. In addition, the furniture made in this technique for a long time maintains good thermal conductivity, which is an important quality for chairs.

Products from the massif of a tree (especially handwork) are universal and can fit into any design project. All thanks to the unique natural patterns. Now the furniture market is replete with cheaper options of the so-called “glued wood”. But it is easy to distinguish such a product from a high-quality armchair made of solid wood - the latter have patterns on the surface with a gradual change of color. It happens that when creating a more economical version of the chair, designers use two types of array.

In order to qualitatively restore the old wooden chair, it is not necessary to ask for help from the master. It can be "reanimated" on its own.

Renovating an old wooden chair is a task feasible even for a novice carpenter.

First you need to prepare the tools necessary to perform this type of work. Among them:

1. stain of selected color;
2. construction stapler;
3. furniture lacquer;
4. screwdriver;
5. sanding machine;
6. fabric to be used as upholstery;
7. electric drill;
8. foam rubber (to be used as a filler for upholstery);
9. wooden shield;
10. glue for wooden products.

It is necessary to remove the coarse calico from the lower portion of the seat (spunbond, dill). Now on this place you need to find and unscrew the 4 nuts.

Next, you should open the backdrop of padded plywood and unscrew another 2 nuts. After that, you need to remove the armrests.

The back of the chair and the seat are connected by two bolts. They also need to unwind and divide into separate parts. After performing these simple manipulations, you should get 1 seat, 1 heel, 1 back, 2 armrests.

There are two techniques for removing the upholstery from the chair:

• slow remove staples with a special tool;
• quickly use a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.

In carrying out this work, it is important to keep in mind that a lot of garbage usually accumulates under the upholstery.

The action algorithm is as follows:

• First, you should carefully check if there are any damages on the chair elements. If a breakdown is found, then it must be repaired. If in the process of restoration it was found that the chair leg, made of chipboard, was deformed and began to crumble, then it should be redone. Here is useful furniture shield.
• The next step is sanding the parts. This is the most time-consuming manipulation. Using a drill with a special nozzle, you must carefully remove the old varnish from the wooden elements of the chair. After that, with the aid of a shlepher, they must be cleaned until the natural color of the wood is visible.
• Next, from the furniture board it is necessary to cut out parts of a suitable shape and apply the stain on other elements of the product. They will dry about 6 hours. After complete drying, they need to be covered with furniture lacquer. In order not to distort the natural shade of the tree, it is better to apply a thin layer.Dry it will be about a day.
• When all the elements of the chair are dry, you can collect legs, after making holes in them, designed to connect with other parts of the chair. After that with the help of glue for wooden products you need to connect all the elements together. The glue will dry for at least three hours.

First, you need to pay attention to the state of foam rubber. In case the filler has become obsolete, it is better to replace it or try to update it. In order to change the filler, it is necessary to determine the thickness of its “predecessor” and add 2 cm to it (over time, the foam rubber sags). Usually for this type of work a certain type of furniture foam rubber is used, having a thickness of 2-3 cm.

After completing all the preliminary work you need to start making upholstery. Before that, measure the old upholstery and leave an allowance of 4-5 cm on each side of the canvas. After measuring all the values, you can begin to cut a new upholstery. It is important to remember that a new upholstery should have a good degree of tension.

The corners are processed last. Staples should be pierced at a distance of 3 cm. If the gap between them is larger, there will be noticeable drops.

In completing the work on the upholstery, using a long screwdriver, it is necessary to make holes where the bolts will enter. Staples need to be punched around the holes to avoid damage to the fabric in this area.

The assembly is performed in the reverse order. It is better to put new nuts and bolts. It is necessary to attract them through the washers, since subsequently the nuts can be pressed into the frame and it will be unstable. At the bottom of the seat you need to attach a new cloth.
