Hi Folks,

I'm looking to re-upholster 6 dining room chairs. It was an easy enough job to remove all the original material/staples and I have a heavy duty stapler. I'm sure they won't be as good as professionally done but I like diy so see it as a hobby to learn all sort of skills. Anyone any recommendations of where I would buy the material. Not sure whether I'll go hard wearing or just something nice but want to look around and see whats available.

Thanks for any responses.

Vibes and scribes on Bridge Street at the bottom of Patricks Hill have tonnes of different Material.

Hickeys would be great. You could ask them for off cuts also to make things cheaper

I would also recommend Hickeys in the Savoy centre. If you are looking for something more expensive, there's M.J. Galligans on Lower Oliver Plunkett Street.
