20 Best Fabric To Recover Dining Room Chair Seats (2023 Updated)

This is a decent set at a great price, but somethings to note: The ears are HUGE. These are like Christmas elf or alien ears. The two larger earss are the same size, and really long on a medium sized adult, too big for a kid.

The smaller ones are more reasonable, but still big on an adult, & way big on a kid. The small extension on the ears does not help them stay on the ears with slight movement. These fall off very easily.

And ALL the fangs are tiny- kid sized, petite sized.

Very soft, very comfortable shirt that looks nice enough to wear to work in a traditional office setting. I love this shirt. It drapes nicely and has a looser cut which I like. I am seriously considering getting it in another colour I like it so much.

And it washes nicely and dries very fast.

Fixed a metal chair without welding. But didn’t last. Just broke off. Cannot fix metal cos it just cement.

This is the third set of dining chair covers I’ve purchased from Surefit. The previous purchases were a good value and easy to use. This time I bought cotton duck chair covers; previous purchased were polyester.

They came so tightly folded in tiny packages that I can’t get the wrinkles out with a steamer. They have to be washed and laboriously ironed to be wrinkle free. Also, the dimensions are different than previous purchases of identical poly covers.

They are at least two inches longer in length and in the depth of the seat panel. Since I have to wash and iron them anyway, I decided to try drying one in a hot dryer and that worked well to shrink them about 2″.

The color matches the photo exactly. They are rather wrinkled obviously but I don’t mind the look- just know if you want the crisp look as in the picture you’re going to have to iron. I first ordered 6 of these with no issues- but I’m not sure it was the same seller.

I ended up getting two more chairs for my table and coming back to order 2 more, but I ONLY RECEIVED ONE OF THE TWO. I’ve contacted the seller and hopefully they will ship out the remaining cover and if so, I’ll update my review.

I bought some beautiful padded Parsons Chairs in beige micro suede in the 1990s. I saved up for so long and after a year my cats had claw marks all over them! Alas, I ordered cotton duck covers. They looked great and the cats liked to hide under the chairs and pounce out at each other.

After you wash ANY slipcover (in cold water, Woolite and gentle cycle) NEVER dry them!!! Put them on the furniture DAMP!In the 1950s my dad made slipcovers for our sectional sofa. He told me to NEVER put a slipcover in the dryer (unless you want the cotton to shrink).

We would put them on damp and stretch them out as we covered the sofa. We simply pulled the wrinkles out. With cushions you have to fold them to get them into the slipcover. On larger furniture this is a two person job ( one holds the cushion folded the other works the slipcover over).

We would then leave the cushions off the pieces of furniture until everything was dry (to avoid mold). My dad often built a fire in the fireplace to speed up the process. It worked great and nobody ever had to iron slipcovers in our house.

I’m just getting ready to order 6 more of these to update my dining area. Probably my 3rd or 4th set. I wrote the review before ordering because I saw so many of you were ironing! Good Grief, Charlie Brown, put the covers on damp with a friend then sit near the fire or out on the porch and have a drink!I have ordered Shurfits for recliners, ottomans, dining chairs and have never been disappointed either in cotton duck or the stretchy micro suede (great for recliners).

Stop ironing. Go drink!.

I would NOT recommend these chairs. Horrible quality and even worse customer service!!! Bought these chairs for our dining room in May 2019. So far we had 3 chair bases bust on us. One in the 30 day return window and the other two just recently.

My 5 year old was sitting in the chair putting ornaments together handing them to me when the chair gave way and he and the chair fell into our Christmas tree. Luckily he was not injured in the freak accident.

It did, however, break about 50 of our ornaments. I reached out to the seller Bison Office to replace just the chair bases not the entire chair. They proceeded to let me know that they would not replace the bases since it’s outside their 30-day damage window.

I’m sorry but this is poor customer service. Do not buy these chairs they are way overpriced for their quality. Trust me you don’t want a loved one sitting in the chair when it decides to break. We decided to look at our other chairs to see if another one is looking like it will break and we found a second chair.

see third picture taken. I will never purchase from this retailer again. All I can say, it’s a good thing for Bison Office and myself that my son was not injured in the accident.

The gorgeous azure color is exactly what I wanted for my dining room, and the color is true to the image you see online. Each chair was shipped in its own box and arrived in perfect condition. I bought 8 side chairs that easily slide under my dining room table.

I love the height of the back of the chair so that my vision isn’t obstructed by high back chairs. The cushions are a bit firm, but not uncomfortable (maybe this is because my previous chairs had a lot of cushion to them).

Several people wrote that it was difficult to line up the legs to the chair base when building. Suggestion: Place each chair base upside down on another chair (we used a folding chair – see image that I have included).

Align holes that are DIAGONAL from each other prior to tightening each base to the cushion. My 15 year old son spent 5 minutes putting each chair together using this creative technique.

A very nice piece but the look was a bit more casual than I wanted. Communication from Houzz was awesome. I received a similar piece from Wayfair and it’s metal legs come in two pieces. This piece has a one-piece base which I think will be more sturdy in the long run.

This slip cover for my chaise is absolutely beautiful! It turned my dull color of a chaise to the lovely area of my living room. The color was correct in its visual and description. Easy to put in place.

Stretches nice, and very soft to sit on. A person may think a little pricey for a slip cover but it doesn’t look like one. Functional, durable, yet makes a piece of furniture look brand new. An excellent purchase.

I love the way they change my parson’s chairs original pattern. Now it looks like I have 6 new chairs! Only took a star because of the quality of the fabric but for the price it’s worth it.

Love the slipcovers! They fit perfectly! They look amazing and have a soft texture! I will definitely purchase more!

I don’t ever write reviews but I must say these didn’t hold up well after one use. I got holes all in the bottom of the feet part which is to be expected somewhat after several uses but I literally only use one time and not good.

I also purchased navy banquet chair covers and they tore as they were being put on. These were regular sized banquet chairs and the covers were made too small and they had white bottoms which I did not like.

I have also had bad experience with my satin sashes and runners. After one wash on gentle. the ends are all raveled and strings hanging were the seam has come undone. I spend ALOT of money with your company.

I would like to see better quality.

The wedding reception chairs were the **** basement banquet type with brass toned handles sticking out above the chair. We put the chair covers on and they transformed the chairs and the look of the space into an elegant venue.

The chair covers were very, very easy to put on and take off. The spandex was nice because it didn’t take up a bunch of room the way other chair covers can. Well worth the price!!!!.

I bought 10 of these for 10 folded chairs rented locally. I would recommend getting a few extra, just in case. It’s a very thin, t-shirt material mixed with spandex. When I pulled the material down in the back of the chair over the legs, it ripped.

Small rip. Nothing major. Easy to cover. But I would get a few extra. I bought chair sashes and white tablecloth covers from here too. It was a great combo. Def made the event have flair. I would def recommend.

Can’t beat the price.

This is exactly what I hoped it would be! We’re still adding to the room w accent chairs and a console, but the rug was a huge plus! The quality is outstanding. We also got the little rug at the door so they matched.

We are very happy! From order to delivery time was right at 3 weeks. The small rug was only 1 week.

These treads are very well made and high quality. They are on the more expensive side, but I purchased them to replace a cheaper set that did not wear well and needed to be replaced after a few months.

Color was the prime flaw. What was shown was med gray. The actual color in sunlight was whiteish silver. Customer service said I should take a picture and send it to them. I wondered why. Do they not have samples at the plant? Even if Rugs Direct would exchange it I would have to roll it up and re-wrap.

I simply put it in a area that was darker and had less foot traffic as the white rug showed every bit of dirt. I ordered another rug from somewhere else for the spot I originally wanted it for.

I ordered of these sets for a total of 6 chairs. Fabric is ok and would work well but the opening that slides over the back gives no option to close. Clearly visible not matter what I do. Black, the color I ordered on my tan colored chair cushions leave very evident view of what is underneath.

Not a good design. I will keep to avoid return shipping and see if I can modify by taking chair bottoms off and wrapping, not convenient or how it was intended to be used but better than spending more money on this product.

Grest material and fit. The only problem is the gap between the front and back panels. I am gling to hand-sew each one but when i need to wash them it will quite a task. They should have take care of it by adding a flap.

On the positive: Few of the ones available in off white, grest fit, look classy and price is reasonable.

I purchased these seat covers because the ones I had previously ordered a while back from another store kept popping off and just did not stay on the chair. When I came across these on Walmart. com they looked like they would work since they went around the whole chair and not just sit on top of the seat.

They were easy to put on, they fit well and stay in place and look very nice. I’m very glad I bought these.

Absolutely spectacular, looks amazing on our ottoman cover! The fabric arrived quickly and was a remarkable color, love this San Francisco caramel. The product is as described in its color and hand-feel, feels like a solid synthetic leather.

Looks gorgeous, has great texture and detail. Very easy to cut and sew. The cut edges are very smooth and do not have any ragged or jagged edges. Got compliments from my fiance on using this fabric to make our new ottoman cover.

Does take some time to off-gas and would recommend you spread the fabric out on a clothesline or an open area in the garage/backyard to off-gas and get rid of the initial plastic smell BEFORE you work with it.

They came very quickly. I am preparing for new patio furniture on my fishing pier next year. Want to reupholster cushions with marine vinyl. I already have Naugahyde brand on my patio. Fabric Wholesale Direct has color selection not found at the online store I used for the patio furniture project.

Will order from whoever I chose, or maybe different fabric for different cushions (conversation vs eating area).

Great product! Perfect amount pre packaged. It helped us save a few hundred dollars by working on his sofa ourselves, instead of using a professional reupholsterer.

I probably could have used material that I already had for this. But I liked the idea of using this. It makes it look very professional from the bottom. Which doesn’t really matter, does it?

Ample amount to cover a sofa. Nice thick fabric. The quick shipping was much appreciated. Thanks for a great product and experience!

These are just a little bit small for my chairs, but that’s probably my fault, as I thought the stretchiness would allow for just a little bit taller chair back. They are rather thin and the dark wood of my chairs shows through.

They are a nice neutral color but a little darker than as shown in the picture. Still, they do allow me to lighten up a darkish dining room during the winter months.

These are super cute For certain chairs. I think that they will do well on standard straight back dining room chairs, but not on chairs that have a round arch or some type of design at top. Which, mine did.

The bow was at the bottom of the chair and I also think it would be cuter if it was a little higher. I really wanted to like these!! Lol but it just didn’t work out for me. I included a quick picture of the chair covered and the chair style next to it.

I believe my chair was just too big and the design made it hard for that cover to fit snug and look clean. I would totally recommend if you have a straight back chair but if you don’t, and I don’t recommend you use these.

Very cute design. Ordered 4 but only kept one. They do not fit my chairs appropriately because the back isn’t totally flat. I kept one just to allow my toddler to sit at the table and not have to worry about her ruining my dining room chairs.

I bought these to update an old cherry dining room set. I did make adjustment to make it look more tailored. I do not sew so I put the covers on and used fabric fusion. It has held up but I will be honest and say I don’t know how long.

The chairs are rarely sat in. If you wanted a tailor look then I would pin it and sew it yourself or have it done professionally. I do like how it turned out.

Initially these chairs were perfect! Then, unfortunately, within about 6-7 months, the bottom fell out…literally. On average, the chairs have only seated approximately 150lbs of weight. No flopping down or in them.

I originally purchased 4; however, now only two remain useable. Therefore, the quality has proven to be unsatisfactory and I must give a low rating for construction, durability. Although they are still quite beautiful in color, the springs have actually separated from the wood casings in two of the chairs.

Considering the chairs are mainly utilized for dining, would have thought the springs would be fastened by more than a u-staple. Now I’m stuck with two chairs in need of repair b/c we can no longer sit in them for fear of falling through.

Color of chairs was nice and fabric was nice and uniform. The overall appearance of the chairs when assembled seems more suited for an office setting rather than casual dining. Beware the assembly of the chairs is cheaply made and there are fitment problems with the leg pockets being very loose.

You have to adjust and readjust the legs to stop the chairs from rocking on opposing legs. Small nicks and scratches can be seen on every leg. Poor quality control is evident. Pricing should be more in area of $99.

00 per chair. there are other chairs for sale with better quality and price. Keep looking before you decide on these chairs.

The color is perfect. Er purchased the green chairs. It looks like a very high end car. I will be curious how well the seats hold up. You really need to read the instructions before you start the process.

That was very important. I received 3 chairs on the 1st day and the last chair the next day in a completely different box. I was very glad all the parts were in all the boxes.

This Modway Baronet upholstered dining chair looks better in person than the pictures on the website. The beige fabric is of nice quality polyester. It has a textured feel to it. The seat cushion and chair back are made of dense foam, not hard but definitely not sink-in soft either.

It gives a medium firm support when you sit on it. My wife and I like that as it makes it easier to get up than from soft cushion. All the legs have a floor protector slider cap underneath. They work very well on our stranded bamboo flooring, leaving no marring or scratches.

We placed 3 separate orders, and although we had to wait for several weeks on one of the orders when the chairs were backordered due to inventory depletion (must be a popular item). Delivery was quick once they’re shipped.

The build is quite excellent also, the seat cushion mated to the chair back perfectly, and all the mounting holes aligned perfectly. The two front legs were also easily attached. All in all, every chair assembled without any issues and sit solidly on the hard floor without any wobbling.

Full illustrated instructions and all necessary hardware were included, even the hex allen wrench for securing the bolts. One area of improvement for the vendor is the shipping box the chair came in.

It’s made of thin single-wall corrugated cardboard, and literally no protective material inside, styrofoam or reinforced corner braces. All the boxes arrived with some sort of punctures and rips sustained from transit handling.

One chair actually arrived with one bottom corner ripped open resulting in a broken chair leg, thus requiring returning it to the local store, and had a replacement re-ordered.

These are great chairs, when you get a good one. Had to buy 8 to get 6 good ones. One of the bad chairs only had two legs. The other bad chair had one let that was an inch shorter than the others. One of the chairs we kept, one leg is almost a quarter inch off , but we kept it since we were tired of returning chairs.

Don’t notice it once you sit in the chair.

This is a great product to repair sagging cushions. The product is easy to cut to your desired size or shape and adheres well when used with a spray adhesive designed for upholstery. In my case the foam surrounding the coils in the cushion started to deteriorate.

I used this product (along with 1/2 inch foam) to build up the cushion so that both foil and coils were level. I was very happy with the outcome. The cushions are much firmer and supportive.

I purchased Fairfield Cushion Wrap when recovering some dining room chairs. It has worked very well. The only issue I had was if pulling too tightly it comes apart a bit – like a cotton ball would, just not as easily.

As soon as I learned how much pressure I could put on the produce it worked fine. All in all, I would buy it again.

In a stopgap measure to having our couch cushions re-stuffed we tried this cushion wrap. It works fairly well. It will work until we can plan for something a bit more permenant. It was a little bit pricey, but that’s pretty much everything right now.

Shocked at the high ratings, I assume people post a review before they actually use it. I throw out more than a hundred covers a year. The price is amazing, just over $2 each. The biggest problem is the chair feet punch through the pockets, the bottoms rip out very easily, and the covers pop off of the legs.

Generally throw-out about 5% after each event. The GSM is 200, you can pay 2 1/2 the price and get premium covers that are allegedly 220 GSM, so multiply the price for 10% more fabric. Tried it, but it wasn’t worth it.

We like the looks of the covers, unfortunately they are very cheap products. Would rather pay more for a better product, but haven’t found one yet. Don’t worry about permanent stains, generally the covers don’t last that long, we do wash them as needed.

Our chairs are on carpet, when a person slides back and forth, to get up or sit down, quite often a pocket will pop out, or rip through. Unfortunately there are many chairs that don’t look good during the reception.

We try to fix the legs when guests get up from their chairs. The covers do look good, until they get used. don’t know how they respond on tile floors.

The covers are cheap, the legs poke through the pockets. Most don’t last long enough to need cleaning. I throw away roughly 10-15% after each event. Recently purchased 200 additional to get us through the year.

The price is surprisingly cheap. Would rather pay for a better quality cover, but have not found one yet. There is a premium cover with 10% more GSM, but not worth roughly double the price. Been using chair covers for 10 years, included in all of our wedding packages, the quality has decreased from 10 years ago, but the price is 1/2 of what it used to be.

I literally never write reviews, but these slipcovers are such an expensive disappointment. If you are buying in hopes of being able to wash, DON’T. I followed the instructions — machine wash and air dry.

I used cold water and all six of my slipcovers shrunk significantly. All of the chair legs are now exposed which looks terrible. DO NOT BUY. And if you do, don’t ever wash them according to the company-provided instructions.

I have ordered this item in indigo blue three times over the past 8 or 9 years and have found them to hold up well and fit perfectly. They wash easily (air dried) and I have even dyed them. I have only one complaint.

When I first ordered them they were available in a “sunbrella” type fabric as well as twill and now only available in twill. The twill fabric fades much quicker and doesn’t look as good.

This is not off white! It’s a hideous yellow color. Their pictures and information is completely inaccurate! Pictures look nothing like colors when you get them in person. Not only that they shrink horribly and you can never get wrinkles out of them even with ironing for several hours.

So now I have parsons chairs and no slipcovers for them. They removed the good colors from the suzanne kasler duck parchment and now i cant get replacements since they shrunk horribly. And am stuck wtih their parsons chairs with no slipcovers unless I want to spend another $200 per chair to get custom beige color ones made – which will probably still shrink so that’s not going to happen.

This company is a rip off – horribly overpriced and very low quality, poor images/information and inaccurate color information and washing instructions. Even with washing cold water and hang dry they shrink.

Very unhappy with this product and company in general.

The chair is absolutely gorgeous however …. it will take awhile before the seat cushion becomes comfortable. It is stiff as a board.

I ordered these chairs because I liked the look and P&W usually has quality products. When it came time to set up a delivery date I was instructed that they would only deliver to the curb and I would have to take them off the truck myself.

I was told that for an adfitional fee they would lowrr them off the truck but I eould have to carry th to my home. That is when I told them to send them back and refund me. So much for ordering crom P&W.
