This might seem intimidating but once you've seen how it's done, you may feel more comfortable tackling a project like this. Restoring furniture is a processes of understanding the craft, the processes, and most importantly, strong problem solving.
This foot stool has many layers that make up the upholstery. From the finish material on top through to the worn out webbing providing support.
