Hi All,

I am a beginner although have done one project covering dining chairs so am familiar with the basics. However I am not familiar with this design (Ethan Allen) where there is a cutout in the MDF seat covered in some kind of stretch webbing. The webbing has lost its tension so you sink into the hole. I would like to keep this job as simple as possible and thought to reuse the existing seats, possibly just reinforcing the webbing by stapling new material directly over the existing one. But I can't figure out what this material is called nor find a reference to this style anywhere. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Angela

Hi @ajmccafferty
I'm not familiar with what that exact fabric is in the picture but on car sometimes people will do something similar. Using 2" webbing in a weaved pattern. I would imagine this would work well for you as well.
