This is the best office chair in the world, except for the flaking/cracked fake leather and a seat worn nearly to the padding. Being the cheapskate er economical person that I am (and loving this chair), I really had no wish to buy a new one. So the answer was simple: google. You can even learn to do surgery online (not recommended, but possible), so why not recovering an office chair? I found a couple examples online, borrowed a staple gun, bought some unassuming black outdoor fabric (I wanted something in an obnoxiously blue pattern but my husband has no flair for the exotic), and got to work. Every chair is different, so a step by step tutorial is certainly not helpful, but I took the beast apart enough to recover the arms and seat, secured it with the staple gun, then reassembled (yes, it was a bit putzy and annoying) but the results speak for themselves. Not bad for $10.
