We got our hands on a set of 4 Danish Erik Buch teak chairs at an estate sale. We negotiated and got them fairly cheap and our budget is tight (first couples adult apartment) so we said we’d fix them up ourselves.

However, this is our first project like this. The extent of our knowledge is making some cutting boards (lol).

That said, the chairs are in decent shape. Here’s what we think they need: re-gluing the joinery on 2 of them and sanding, oiling, and reupholstering all 4. We’re planning to do the backs a chartreuse knit and the seats in a dark brown leather.

To all the wonderfully talented people on here: how the help do we even start? Taking the chair apart to tackle the joinery and gluing concerns me the most.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I was here a few weeks ago asking whether a MCM piece I found was worth it for the cost. I ended up buying that one! See the post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/midcenturymodern/s/YaLOmAqHb9

Well, we found the matching 9-drawer dresser of the same set. And don’t worry, this time, I bought it before posting here 😉.

The pieces will be staying together and serve as the focal points for our bedroom!
