This is my first post and I was hoping someone could help me out. There is someone in my neighborhood selling a brown fabric Charles Pollock for Knoll chair in decent condition.
I'd really like to take it home, but only if I can repair a few things.
There is one button missing, and the plastic shell is scratched up. It looks like a cat probably stretched on it and used it as a scratchpost a few times.
Normally I wouldn't care and would just sand it down lightly to try and eliminate as much visible damage as possible on a plastic object. However, since the shells are textured, I wanted to know if this would be possible, or if it's just a lost cause.
If anyone can provide an opinion or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
The one I'm looking at is exactly like the one in the photo.
Thanks,

Thanks for the opinion. I decided I won't pick it up unless the seller is willing to sell it at a price that she just wants it out of her house.
Just to follow up - I talked to a friend of mine who works with plastics and he said that a heat gun is the best bet. You'll be able to eliminate the gashes and make the chair look decent, but of course, it'll always look repaired due to the fact that it's textured during the molding process.
