The upholstery on the Castelli DSC 106 I bought was torn, and rather discolored from damp storage, not worth trying to salvage. I decided to pull it all off and see what the plywood underneath looked like.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n

First step was to take out the screws, and knock the frame apart. Surprisingly easy, only took a couple whacks with a rubber mallet and it came right apart.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n

The seat and back fit into notches in the cast frame pieces.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n

The vinyl covering was stapled into place with what look to be brass plated steel staples.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n

The back cover is odd. It has a zipper for one of the seams.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_4_placeholder\n

The wood underneath was not perfect, but it’s not bad for plywood. The back has a few cracks in the top layer of plywood, and marring from the production process. I’m going to sand things a bit, mostly to get rid of splinters on the edges, and varnish it. Should look pretty decent at the end, if a little bit richer in character than the ones originally produced with a wood finish.<\/p>\n

The rest of the pictures I took of the tear down process are in the gallery below. Lots of detail shots of the upholstery seams and fasteners, so I can get as close to original as possible if I decide I want to put a new cover on in the future.<\/p>\n
