Hi, I'm new to the forum, hoping I can find the help I need here.

I've picked up four DCW chairs, unfortunately on two of them the previous owner has repaired the shock mounts by over sanding the recesses in the back of the backrest, resulting in a corresponding bulge in the front of the backrest, which looks ugly.

Very difficult to fix this, so i'm wondering if anyone know if you can get replacement backrests, i've searched but can't find any.

Thanks in advance for any responses!

@kniperider I understand your question is not about repair but can you post a picture anyway? I’m just curious how it looks.

You can see the raised area where the plywood veneer is so thin it’s been pushed out.

The second chair is worse than this one.
