    Any ideas how I actually fix the fabric: would staples be okay?

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Yeah go on, you know you're the staple queen when it comes to that kind of chair :D

    It looks completely gorgeous - a ver big :T to you !

    For anyone looking for ESP they didn't have it in B&Q yesterday so I got 'International' wipe on multi surface primer and it works like a treat.
    I'm painting a melamine cupboard and it's taken the first coat great.

    Thank you all! I definitely wouldn't have started the chair if it hadn't been for this thread and it's lovely to have rediscovered something.
