Chair repair

$90

Northcote VIC, Australia

3rd Nov 2025

I have a pair of midcentury chairs, they’re not precious and have been well loved but I’d like to save them from landfill. One of them has sustained a little damage after someone leaned back too far on it and I think it might need to have the arm taken off and the dowel replaced and re-glued. I don’t expect it to be a cosmetically perfect job, but I would like to extend the life of the chair.

What the heck! What a joy - professional fast and delightful and such a great job. Couldn’t recommend more and will use again.
