Can the seat come off and be recovered with a different fabric?

Yes, the seat does come off and it would probably be very easy to re-cover it with a different fabric.

Yes, the seat comes off. When you receive the package it is flat, and you need to put together the stool.

I'm not sure if the fabric panels can be taken off and washed but possibly. The metal could be washed.

After you get the back fabric support on, there are two tiny holes in the metal that you're supposed to screw through the fabric and into. I did NOT do this for two reasons: I was worried about tearing the fabric and I wanted to be able to take that back piece off to wash if I needed to. I've used the seats for a year (probably 20x) without the screws.

Sure there is. Just remove the seat from the swivel platform. (4 screws). Recover with whatever material or pattern you like.

Yes, but you may need some skill to deal with the welting around the edges. The seat is easily detached which would allow you to recover. I suggest that might present some difficulty because you would be recovering a circle not a square shape but if you or someone you know has this skill, it would certainly be doable.

Yes; the fabric comes off rather easily. We have had many accidents that have needed a washer machine to fix!

Yes. We took the fabric and padding off of ours and mounted a regular commode seat on it with bolts.

Unfortunately, no. The seat has elastic hooks that hold the cover to the plastic frame which give the illusion that it can be removed and washed but it is permanently connected to the seat at the bottom. I don't know if that makes sense but I learned the hard way that it only looks as if it can be removed.

The seat cover can be removed and washed. We've had to do it a couple of times and its actually easy to do, but we have noticed that the fabric has begun to tear and we will likely have to replace the seat cover in the coming months. And, yes you can swing it by hand.

The seat can not be removed and washed-there's either plywood or plastic inside it. I also though it comes off but I tried and it doesn't.

Never tried it but it might be possible. The two horizontal bars for each panel are secured by an allen screw. It appears that if they are taken out the the bar will be loose to slide off the fabric and slip another one onto that bar.

It can be removed. I am pretty sure that it can be replaced as well. The company has been pretty good in replacing items. The chair arrived with a plastic piece broken and the company immediately agreed to sent a replacement piece. We haven't had any problems since. We remove the cushion on a regular basis to clean it.

Reupholstering would be very easy as the seat is held on by only 4 screws. Pop off the seat and you're ready to go. However, as screw holes into wood (especially particle board) lose their hold over time and with multiple drives you may need to drill new holes through the seat framing to ensure a lasting bond after reupholstering. Fortunately, this is not something you should need to do after just one reupholstering, but perhaps after two. In addition there are good spots for additional screw holds on the framing for future screw holes. If you are planning on putting your own cover on over the original cushion from the start, just do it before assembly and you won't have to worry about any additional holes for now. If you're just thinking about the future, the chairs definitely seems sturdy enough to warrant reupholstery after the seat fabric wears out. Thanks for the idea by the way, wouldn't have thought about it if you hadn't asked.

Short answer is, YES. All of the pieces comprising the back can come off for easier transportation. The pieces have prongs that slip into metal brackets on the seats. Nothing is fastened. Slip on, slip off.

Yes. There would be a small bracket left behind and the foam pads that line up with the seat would still be there. But the part that lifts up can be removed.

The pad can be unscrewed from the chair. At that point you could reupholster the pad by removing the staples from the cover which holds the padding in place.

No, it's not difficult at all. I reupholstered mine. The seat just screws off.
