Curious as to how you would refinish an Arne Jacobson Series 7 chair for Fritz Hansen. Is the chair laminated or solid wood? The pictures I have seen show that the chair looks like solid wood but I haven't gone to see it yet so I wanted to ask you guys. The "wood" looks pretty beat up but I want to make sure I am able to refinish it before I waste my 2 hours to go pick the chair up. SO my question is are these chairs just laminate or are they solid wood?

uhhhhhhhh you can refinish veneer I do it all the time but judging by your lack of knowledge so far I would not recommend you do it...
also if you paint them black I will kill you.
also did you really think they were solid wood????....

wow i feel like a dumb ass. Honestly I thought he said laminate and not Veneer that's why. Also I am new to collecting this style of furniture so i wasn't sure what it was. It makes sense that I could refinish and I'm not painting them black. I have refinished furniture in the past so I am not worried about being able to do that.
