In early January my husband and I scored a pair of mid century modern Z style lounge chairs. I never thought I'd own this chair but poof, there they were on Craigslist (a pair no less!) and somehow I was the lucky first responder.
Because I was hugely pregnant when we picked them up my husband did the refinishing. I got to stain it, but was sad I could not partake in the stripping or sanding. Luckily we have 2, so I'll do the second chair. Here's how the first chair came out. We only have space for one in our living room at the moment...

We're going to have new cushions made as soon as I get a chance to hunt for the perfect upholstery. In the meantime I'm using vinyl cushions from another chair. The cushions these chairs came with were too large.
What do you think of the finished product?
its turned out yummy...Z chairs are so cool and classy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job!! Love the Z chair.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great! Can't wait to see with the new cushions...
ReplyDeleteabsolutely gorgeous! i love the darker stain color that you selected. nice idea on the smaller cushions too.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I love the color. Do you know the maker of these ones?
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone. No maker's mark on these.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you that you got a pair of Z chairs! That's great...and hubby did a fantastic job on the first one. How are you going to upholster them?
ReplyDeleteLooks really nice! What finish did you use? Do you have any plans for the upholstery? Something beige or moss green and nubby would go great.
ReplyDeleteYour chair looks lovely. Finding them was a really great "get".
ReplyDeleteIyou guys did an awesome job, I love the finish! Do you remember what stain color you used and the finish? I'm working on refinishing a pair right now:)
