Total newb here. In an effort to dip a toe into the shark-infested waters of furniture restoration, I bought a Stow & Davis side chair for ten bucks to refinish and reupholster. You know, the sort of thing that was probably in a doctor's waiting room with a couple tattered Life magazines on the table next to it -- potentially a fun chair, but nothing it would kill me to mess up.
But I immediately hit a snag: I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the back cushion off! It's attached via rubber-covered... somethings. It's built like these chairs; the last 2 pics show the structure of the back: https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/13505444_pr-stow-davis-american-modern-walnut-arm-chairs
There were screws in little metal tabs attached to the back of the chair; I removed them to no effect. What am I missing? A million thanks in advance!!!
