The chairs we inherited after the in-laws got a new dining set are worn to the point where a slicey-pokey corner of wood juts out from the threadbare upholstery. This is how my attempt at adulting these chairs will go:
1. research local upholsterers and find one with good reviews

2. contact them with a description of the chairs
3. become outraged about reupholstering prices while grudgingly acknowledging that, yeah, I guess upholsterers have to make a living

7. try, fail to find the piece of equipment on eBay for cheap
