Spent a friday trying to remove the backrest from the seat. I had to pull out tons of staples, and after stripping away the fabric and foam, the bent ply was finally exposed.
The surface was really clean. Which was a nice surprise as I had expected to see the foam glued onto the ply. What was horrible though, were the marks left behind by the staples.
The plan originally was to leave the ply as it is, so that the material and construction can be showcased. But after seeing all those unsightly marks, I had to re-evaluate that decision. At this point, I was considering to upholster the back together with the seat. (Initially, I only thought of re-upholstering the seat). It was not only for practical reasons of covering those marks, but I also grew to like the idea of having only two elements (fabric and steel), instead of the initial three elements (timber, fabric and steel).
