Examining the backrest



I first thought the upholstery was glued onto the backrest. The fabric was stretched tautly without any creases and it was very neat. However after ripping the staples away, the fabric fell apart and revealed the plywood underneath. It was not glued on like what I expected. My first thoughts were, the craftsman did a very neat job but went crazy with the staple gun, because it took ages to remove just a section of it. The clean plywood also meant that reusing this part would be possible. This plywood backrest was connected to the seat with several nails at the bottom. Now if only that would be as easy to rip out as the staples.
