We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.
Ahhh. So nice to find the perfect spring repair video after scanning a bunch of amateur videos. Excellent explanation, video, audio, and done in four minutes. A thousand likes for you. Thank you!
I had the same issue. The difference was the spring hooks were still attached. 5 of the 6 were simple to reattach. Thank you for this video and saving me a serious headache.
I had a sunken seat on my sofa, had know idea if/how to fix it! Watched this video and cut open bottom. The spring system was the same. The bracket hadn't broken, it had come away from the frame! I nailed it back on and it's as good as new. Thanks, your video was of great help.
Massively helpful brief video! Got a new but broken easy chair for free, and was racking my brain for how I could attach this clip from behind. Thank you for making great content!
I had already asked the landfill how much they wanted for a couch. My friends think I'm a fool for getting rid of a seemingly good couch. Time to flip this thing over. Thanks for sharing 🙏
That’s a great little instructional video. You’ve shown how easy it can be. Thanks. Unfortunately I have a recliner that is a little more hard to get to but the basis is the same.
THANKS, all the clips are under the chair and I didn't realize you could just put the replacement clips on the outside! Now I need to find out how to take the clip off that's still attached to the jute and wire because my spring has snapped in half and I need to remove it.
thank you aimee you just give me a great way to fix broken no sag springs in my car seat been trying to find someone to make a tool to form the U shape end that hooks in the frame but if i use those clips i can weld them and then hammer them closed and add a weld to keep them closed very clever idea :)
Hi Aimee, could you make a video about, what makes a good sewing machine for upholstring. Including info about the foot, needles, treading. Thanks for your videos, very informative and served with a lovely smile and humor. Nice.
You can throw it away. You don’t really need it. If you REALLY want one, you can go buy some non-woven interfacing from the fabric store and just staple it on with a staple gun. Regular fabric (in any color you want) is also an option, but go for the cheap stuff. No one is looking under your couch.
Love your site. I have learned so much. I am going to reupholster an old sitting chair. Could you do a video on tufted backs? Hope I am not getting in over my head🙃
I was thinking of just giving away my late 1800s Victorian sofa because of a sunken spot from a spring "unspringing". Not sure if it's the same layout, but you got me thinking it's not something that needs an expert costing hundreds of dollars to fix. I'm going to lug it back into the house (just moved to an old house that it would look perfect in) - and turn it upside down and have at it. The worst that could happen is that we can't fix it but at least we'll be seeing how it is put together underneath. :)
Yes, it looks just lk my deal ,one spring on a 2 row spring chair popped, but it didn't hv the clip still on it, I hvn't looked hard but it feels lk it's still in the chair, it seems the spring slip out of the clip, if that's possible? I lk the ole chair, I hope to find one if those clips😉THX
Great videos. It looks lke the springs in this sofa are tied together with a horizonal line, and I see clips connecting the line to the spring. What kind of clips (loose term) are they? We need to replace the cross ties on our sofa. Thanks!
Hey Miss A....you can unlock any door, if you only have the key. Thank you for providing another key to unlocking a mystery that in reality isn't that mysterious. Luv ya, mean it!!
I have a reclining sofa . I noticed one of the zigzag springs feels funny when you sit on it when I put up the recliner and looked underneath I can see like a coil spring sticking down through the black dust cloth . Any suggestions where to start .
Really well presented and now I have the confidence to fix this myself. BTW it wasn't kids jumping on the sofa it was my big palooka buddy having too many wines. hahaha
Great video Amy, thanks! Any thoughts on how to repair a broken rod the springs are connected to on the bottom of an Ethan Allen armchair? This rod is 6 gauge or so.
You are amazing, I admire you and your work. Thank you for your videos, I’m learning a lot from it. And at this point I would like to ask you about sewing machine. I need buy one but I have no idea which one I should choose?
Just about to embark on my first re-springing journey! I was happy to see that it's OK to attach the clip in a slightly different spot as there is no way I could get to the same spot as the existing clip. Out of interest, having ripped off the dust cover, did you replace it? Thanks for such a useful video.
@@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio - quick supplementary question: my days of sofa bouncing are sadly over, but I'm a heavy guy! Is there any value in adding a few additional springs? Losing weight is also an option, I guess . . .
@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio job complete! It wasn't pretty, but it's very effective and feels like a new sofa! The nails supplied with the spring clips were pretty poor quality and the wooden frame was some kind of supertimber that didn't like getting nailed, but I got there. I just replaced the springs that were broken and there doesn't seem to be a need to add more (yet). Thanks again for the really useful video.
Hi 😊 really enjoying your videos ! I’m reupholstering a chair for the 1st time ! 🤞🏻...I came across Your channel whilst doing some research .. I’ve just watched this spring repair one and am now thinking of attempting to fix my sofa , but it has another set of small springs which attach to the main ones at the front and some of those are broken too 😕any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 😊
You can replace those springs with twine. The point of them is so that the springs act as a unit, keeping them from moving side to side. I always tie them with twine. The springs are factory (quick cheap and easy) not custom.

Literally the first video i found and i exclaimed "holy crap that's exactly what I need". Thank you.
It’s a common problem, I’m so glad it helped!

Did you manage to sew back the bottom?
Thank you. I’m impressed at how few times you missed the nail with the hammer.
Thank u so much! You just saved me saved me from buying a new couch. I just fixed my couch because of you thank making this video.
❤️
Hey Amie,
You can buy regular "repair clips" that are pretty good.
A screw is better than a nail, too. (I do this for a living)
Have a good one!
Thanks!
This is the best video I have watched that explained in a simple manner how to repair the spring in my couch. Thank you much !
Thank you so much! My husband is ready to send my favorite leather couch and love seat to the landfill. You may have saved their life
I have the same problem but I was trying to find a video that could attach a spring without pulling out all the foam/sponge, perfect thank you
Always a pleasure to see your smiling face no matter what's getting repaired.
Massively helpful brief video! Got a new but broken easy chair for free, and was racking my brain for how I could attach this clip from behind. Thank you for making great content!

Thank you, worked like a charm!!
You have to pay in US for leaving your junk at the dumpster?
@@leob4403 You bring it to the town landfill for a fee, or you pay a fee for them to pick it up to junk it for you. Nothing free in the US.
@@1995Benzo so lets say I wanted to throw away a 3 seat sofa, how much would that cost?

You rule. Had to use some creative hardware for clips and where to screw them in, but your vid made it clear what would work. And it did. Thank you!
Excellent, thank you so very much! Need to renew all springs on my 1920s sofa.
That’s a great little instructional video. You’ve shown how easy it can be. Thanks. Unfortunately I have a recliner that is a little more hard to get to but the basis is the same.
Recliners are just bolted together, if you want to fix it badly enough, you can.
Wow I watched a ton of videos and this is the one I actually needed 😂 I found a fairly new L shaped couch and I’m pretty excited about fixing it.
Nice work. Simple and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks! Very straight forward and to the point.
Very good video, this was an easy repair.
That was so simple and easy to understand, thank you so much!
Thankyou for this, it looks super-helpful. Is there any point in trying to preserve or replace the dust cover on the bottom , please?
Thank you! I was able to repair my sofa thanks to your video.
Thank u so much. U don’t even know how many videos I watched with ppl repairing back cushions by repair I mean stuffing lol.
Would have liked to see you replace the dust cover.
Thank you for this video I'm definitely going to hunt down a clip and fix my spring myself.
THANKS, all the clips are under the chair and I didn't realize you could just put the replacement clips on the outside! Now I need to find out how to take the clip off that's still attached to the jute and wire because my spring has snapped in half and I need to remove it.
You made that look so easy, I'm gonna attempt this today. Thank you.
This video is very informative. I could use advice on replacing spring wires. All 3 have broken. Thanks.
I have a video for that too
I just got quoted for a spring repair for $1,850 omg if this only costs me a few bucks then bless your heart
Fantastic advice, thank you so much for making this video!!
Yes! My wildling “sprung” not 1 but 2 springs in my couch! Thanks for the tip!
I’m going to the furniture repair tomorrow, thank you!!! ❤❤Judy❤❤
Thanks! I'd wondered about the clips, and you answered all of my questions.
What a lifesaver! Or should I say couch saver! Good-lookin too!
This seems so easy to do it yourself. I will try. Thank you for sharing🎉
This is great, was going to throw away a chair and now we are just going to fix it!!! Thanks!
I just sent this to someone who asked me about this very problem the other day.
Thanks
Nice! very easy demonstration and repair unlike other videos
thank you aimee you just give me a great way to fix broken no sag springs in my car seat
been trying to find someone to make a tool to form the U shape end that hooks in the frame but if i use those clips i can weld them and then hammer them closed and add a weld to keep them closed
very clever idea :)
These clips come in different shapes, to suit different projects...best of luck with your project!
Love this! Thank you! Does anyone know how to fix a squeaky spring in the bottom of a wingback??
Omg it's so simple! Like... I could actually do that thank you!
This is sofa king great advice!

Sounds like a plan...thanks for the input!
@@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio Sounds great, thank you Aimee.
Thank you for the video assistance, this was a very easy-to-follow instruction video! Did exactly as you said, & its worked out perfectly!
Awesome! Thank you for letting me know it was helpful!
Wow thanks. My sofa needs this.
Thank you so much for the video! Will attempt to repair my sofa soon. Wondering if 1inch or 1.5inch nails be better? Screws don't work huh?
You nailed that one Aimee, have a nice day !!!.
🤣
Thank you Amy for all the great videos
Wow, you have saved me a fortune! Thankyou 😊
My one question is what do you do about the dust cover you tore off the bottom? Do you replace that? Thank you, very helpful video!
You can throw it away. You don’t really need it. If you REALLY want one, you can go buy some non-woven interfacing from the fabric store and just staple it on with a staple gun. Regular fabric (in any color you want) is also an option, but go for the cheap stuff. No one is looking under your couch.
Thanks for the video! I'm excited to try this!
Thank you. you are so pretty.
So glad I found this one ...
Did your spring break or did you like that it was a short one? 🤣
Excellent info. I did it!!! Thank you!
Thank you ❤ you probably saved me hundreds of dollars ❤
Love your site. I have learned so much. I am going to reupholster an old sitting chair. Could you do a video on tufted backs? Hope I am not getting in over my head🙃
A brilliant explanation. Thank you.
Thank you. We're going to try this.
Awesome! Thanks Amiee! I'm going to fix our couch now! ;)
Thank you!! So glad we can fix our couch and. It don’t have to replace it!!
1 or 3/4 inch screws should be considered for a clip in that orientation. Pilot holes are advised with screw use.

Thank you so much! Great video explanation. And will save us from purchasing a new sofa.
Thank you for the valuable information.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I did not know how I was going to secure the spring under that board. After watching your video it was easy.
Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thx for sharing!
Another great video, my dad said pets and kids kept us in business,and here was right. 😊 Enjoyed it. Paul
For sure!
Thank you that was super easy to follow so I can See tthe way I can finish fixing mine
Thank you for your video
I like your way of explanation
Great job and it seemed easy,. Thank you Aime
Very well done. Do you have a video on repairing a spring shaped like a tornado? Thanks.
Not yet, but I will!
Yes, it looks just lk my deal ,one spring on a 2 row spring chair popped, but it didn't hv the clip still on it, I hvn't looked hard but it feels lk it's still in the chair, it seems the spring slip out of the clip, if that's possible?
I lk the ole chair, I hope to find one if those clips😉THX
Yes it helps a lot. Very. Much simpler than I thought even if my spring does turn out to have broken.
Informative , looking forward to more videos
Great videos. It looks lke the springs in this sofa are tied together with a horizonal line, and I see clips connecting the line to the spring. What kind of clips (loose term) are they? We need to replace the cross ties on our sofa. Thanks!
Those are BW clips, but you could also just tie a knot
Thank you! We’ll experiment for sure.
Great video, had me chuckling a couple of times 🤣. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I think my concern would be "have I put on that much weight?" Nice easy fix! Thanks for sharing Aimee. Is that a #1 Seller "1000 Chairs?"
🤣
Nice video great to know you can mount that clip in a different position thank you from Phoenix 👍🏻
Which way should the nap run on velvet dining chairs.
Thank you for your work
Excellent thank you my dear

Do the nails come with the repar kit from Amazon or do you have to buy the nails separately elsewhere?
Thank you btw for the video btw
