Has anyone had Moller model 80 chairs re-upholstered? The back piece pops out of the (in this case teak) frame, but I don't know how, or where to find an upholsterer who would know how to do this without potentially damaging the wood.

I'm specifically looking for someone in the Ohio region if anyone has suggestions.

Thank you!

I don't think it's as difficult as it seems. Did you look at the underside of the bottom edge of the chair back? There is probably a screw or two there that can be removed and then the back will pop out. I had a Jens Risom chair with this same kind of inset upholstered back and that's how it was made. It was very easy to do. The only problem I had was that my new fabric added just enough bulk that it was hard to get the panel back in place, but I did do it in the end.
