I am going to make a few sets of bottom seat wooden frames. They will be of hardwood and same dimension as original with the tapered ends to fit into the seat locating slots. I will then \brace mine with plywood to provide extra support for the cushion.

I am yet to source vinyl for re-upholstery.

Anyone interested in timber frames? I would mill them but not assemble them in order to make post easier.

if you are going to make the bottoms use a solid piece of ply underneath as well it makes it a lot more stronger and stops it from sagging
