I have a couple of old chairs that I picked up off the street. They have great curves midcentury timber arms and are a shape that you could read a book in for hours.

However, I have had the chairs priced for getting nw fabric and being resprung - and it is a lot more than buying a new chair (or 2) that will come with the latest foam and fabric and be well built etc.

So is it worth it? Have you done it and loved it or regretted it? Eager to hear your experiences...
