Lounge chairs come in an almost infinite number of design variations, but there’s not much difference between them when it comes to taking one aside. Each one has a seat, a rear, legs — and usually armrests. These components are held together with bolts or screws, and disassembly is mainly an issue of finding the attachments and utilizing the right tool to remove them. If you can not find the bolts on an upholstered chair, it means they are likely under the upholstery. If that’s true, think twice about disassembling the chair. It is going to be hard to reassemble.
Remove the pillows from the chair, if there are any. They might be attached to the bench with snaps or tape, and you might have to find the connections to remove them.
Pry out upholstery tacks and staples using pliers and a flathead screwdriver and pull only as much upholstery as vital to expose the bolts and remove the part. When you reassemble the chair, it’ll be easier to fix the upholstery in the event as much of it as possible is still attached to the chair.
Disconnect the arms. They usually have 2 points of link, one to the seat and one to the rear of the chair. Find the bolts and then unscrew them using a suitable instrument, either a Phillips screwdriver, a socket wrench or an Allen wrench. Many contemporary furniture manufacturers use Allen screws.
Turn the chair over and disconnect the legs. The legs might be individually attached or they might be integrated into a single central stem. In any event, you need to be able to loosen the screws holding them with the same instrument you used to remove the arms. After removing them, disconnect any tooth holding them together.
Separate the seat in the rear by unscrewing the bolts holding them together. Manufacturers frequently integrate both of these components into one, so you can not have the ability to separate them.
