Default More before and after chairs

These are some chairs I got on JT. Not in great condition, but a challenge. As these are probably originally from a dutch furniture shop I know they will be sturdy and last. Some repairs needed to chairs (and eventually to me--removing staples is a b***h). Scrubbed the woodwork down with hot water & jif to remove old grease-yeuk, removed old upholstery, hoovered the foam, sprinkled with bread soda to deodourize (cheaper than febreeze and works just as well), and left outside in the sun for a few hours. All I had to do then was polish the wood-used topps scratch cover polish, and re-upholster them. I now have ten nice chairs in my meeting room courtesy of Jumble Town. I had priced various chairs and looked like we would have to spend €70 per chair. Happy days--I now have 10 chairs and have saved €700. That is it, no more chairs, I've had enough and I'm sure you have too!!
