Continue to click each item that matches your requirments. Do not check an item if your chair or settee is not relevant to a particular item.

Step 4.

When you have finished the selection process, click calculate and the total meters required is displayed for fabric leather and vinyl.

Terminology:

No Arms - One Arm - Two Arms

Although most chairs and settees have two arms, there are some that do not have any at all.

Upholstered Front Back

- refers to the fabric on the back of the chair or settee facing towards the front. Where your back leans against.

Back Cushions (Reversible)

- some chairs and settees have back cushions that can be reversed or turned around.

Outside Back

- refers to the fabric on the outside of the back of the chair or settee. Is at opposite to the front of the back.

Upholstered Seat (No Cushion)

- some chairs or settees do not have seat cushions. Instead the seating is fully upholstered using springing,elastic webbing and foam still making the seat comfortable.

Upholstered Seat (Reversible Cushion)

- Some chairs and settees have seat cushions. Often, they are reversible meaning they can be turned upside down on the seating.

Skirt

- Is also known as a valance. It is the hem or hanging fabric that is sometimes attached around the perimeter of the base. The most common is the Box Pleated Skirt.

Large Pattern On Fabric

- This refers to a fabric with a large pattern. If you are using a fabric with a large floral design the pattern needs to be centred on the chair or settee. Therefore this procedure requires more fabric.
