Reupholster a Recliner
I just bought a used recliner. it looks like a mid century modern, it has a label that says it is "Design Environment" N.C. The chair is great except that the straps under the seat cushion have all just fallen apart.
I need to replace these straps which look like a thick ace bandage and have metal clips that simply slide into a groove on the frames bottom.
Any ideas where I can find these kind of straps or what I could substitute?
Thanks,
Rick

Have you searched the internet for the manufacturer? or online upholstery shops? or searched for Design Environment? Have you gone to one who sells recliners and asked questions--- manufacturer, replacement parts, etc.? Have you visited or called upholstery shops? You can take a scrap with you for matching fabrics or getting replacement ideas. My local store phoned a manufacturer for me and got answers to my questions.

Contact an upholstery company and possibly they might have the straps you are looking for. sewingmamma
