Can the faux leather be replaced w/ fabric easily?

If you've upholstered before it shouldn't be too difficult but if intend to recover the existing vinyl, be aware there's piping (welting) around the edge so you might want to add batting to compensate if you're not removing the original.

Yes, they can but I do not know why you would want to. They look very nice. There are 4 screws holding the seat to the frame. Remove those, lift off the seat and have at it.

That does not look like an easy task. Maybe before they are assembled? But because they rotate, the apparatus that allows them to turn is in the way of where you'd need to connect the material. Not to say it isn't impossible... But would be very difficult. I love these stools though. Everyone that sits on them, from snooty to down to earth, think they are comfortable and good looking. Hope this helps.

Because of the "newness" of the fabric, it will be difficult to work with. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of patience and some degree of ingenuity. If you have further questions, please email me at ghme.llc@gmail.com

It's very easy. Just remove the 4 screws under the seat, staple new material in place, and reattach screws.

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

No, I'm not sure it's even replaceable since it's glued on. I guess eventually you would have to clean it out though.

I would first reinforce the backside. Go to a fabric or upholstery fabric shop and get some tape that has a self-bonding agent on it that is covered with a plastic/paper strip that peels off. Position the piece underneath pull the cover strip on one side first, pressing material into place, then do the other side being careful that the tear is well aligned. Then use the vinyl/leather repair on top of it.

I gave mine away because it marked my leather seats. Not sure about fabric. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I wasnt sure if mine were leather or vinyl either.. it worked ok.. but the sofa got holes/wore down in other places too.. so I ended up buying a sofa cover..

Very easy. The stools come unassembled so before you assemble them you would be able to remove the fabric and use a staple gun to recover with another fabric.

Yes, I agree it looks like you could remove the cushion then recover it with new material. It's only attached to the swivel and chrome ring with screws.

It was not meant to be. To be honest, I can't remember if it was glued on, or sewn on. Either way, it would be difficult to replace.

Thank you for your interest in our product. This item that you are inquiring for is durable combination leather. Real leather will not be as easy to maintain during usage, unlike combination leather. Thank you and have a wonderful day! --FurnitureMaxx

Leather new worked great for me on a red fake leather chair. I had some puncture areas from keys in the pockets, some tears, etc. Just need to be sure you get the area tightly closed when you put the repair compounds on. I also had a tan chair in the basement.....no tears, just worn areas that I put the coloring on...looks great now.

Yes, faux leather(naugahyde) which is used heavily in auto upholstery reacts a lot like leather and products which use on leather works well on leather like materials.

No. But I would actually rather have the material that this is made of over leather. I hope this information helps!

No the leather will remain just as it was, it might discolor it slightly to a darker shade. They recommend to try it on a hidden spot first. I haven't noticed any color change myself.
