nice... but u should repaint it 1st

The leather buy from ikea also? Can choose in between leather and cushion seat when we buy?

Yes, sand it and wipe it with wet tissue to remove most of the grime.

Then have a rag drop a few drops of baby oil and wipe to a shine.

i bought mine straight webbing version instead of cushion, but one of the wood kinda starting to break apart, at the support area , approx 6 years ?

Maybe just attach velcro to the cushion so that it will not slip?

It's cheap. Just buy a new one.

Why is TS cheapskate?

Yes you can choose

For my case, my dog loves to sit on poang also and the fur sticks to the fabric. So my latest replacement is leather. Just wipe or vacuum off the fur.

Good job ts!

I using it daily even right now

With stool

u confirm never diy repair anything before.

its not a mattwr of cheap or not. its about u capable of repairing ur own stuffs instead of throwing it away then buying a new one

Of course can choose.

IKEA can choose many fabric. Leather is one of it.

Easy to takecare. And not easy subside like fabric.

Abit expensive. But worth it.

Yes.

I find it easier to maintain leather sofa than fabric. Just wipe or vacuum. Fabric need to remove, wash, dry, put back. So much hassle.

Some more my dog stay indoors. Leather sofa and chairs easier to take care.

It's Culture here that ppl dint DIY. Unlike westerners, they will DIY. Partly because repair man there charges expensive. Unlike here, consider cheap.

That's why big hardware shops like ACE you seldom see many ppl.

Sorry if I misled some people here

you guys must think my staples is these puny kind


but really, to do this, you have to have at least one of this


not exactly the same level here


get one with at least 8mm length
the original is 8~10mm but theirs is coarser type
so thats why I double up on the tacks, where as the original IKEA uses a single row to hold onto the wood



well, the investment here is the staples.
the straps is from the store rubbish area
the stapler was a broken one thrown away that repair back to usable state

the money saving I would guess ~RM 100 at least

plus as kurangak said
there is the joy of able to repair something with ones own hand
that buying replacement cant really fill



saw one in the furniture shop as well
but that one have not the flexibility of POANG

hmm.. never oil wood before, just gone in dry heheheh

luckily the company have shipment in have remove the straps
ripe for me to use

it proof mau cari mana
sudah recycle dunno where dee

saw the test @ kl sana punya ikea
100kg push down dunno how many milion time dee

lack of time plus I am lazy fat ass

sitting or back area
you say, start to break apart
if the connector still good, just the middle part start to crack, the find a length of wood, or metal, simialr sized
and use cable ties to support the braking wood,

if broken, then either DIY anotherpiece or buy new

no velcro at the time
still my fat ass will push way past velcro capacity to hold on

boss, saya kerja kilang, balu keluar itu Honda Civic
manyak tarak duit, tarak duit mau beli ini itu balu

sikarang hari hari makan roti sama air

cukur mine 7 tahun still brand new.

I oil my POÄNG chair maybe once a year.

To keep the wood smooth to touch and not becoming dry/brittle.
