Hi Vonett!
I think you can do anything you want if you want too bad enough. Ü If they are the foldup type that would be tricky. But if they are solid straight heavy office chairs I would think it was possible. They just need to be able to snug up to each other like this type of chair: https://jawoodworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TC1a.jpg I’m not sure what would be required as it would depend on the type but I would think it could be done! Metal would be tricker to work with but there has to be a way to do it. Just not sure how. I’m kind of a ‘figure it out as you go’ person when it comes to some things.
Good luck!

I wonder if this could be done on medal office chairs? I have 21 green very ugly medal chairs. Could you give me a suggestion please? Thanks

Hi Nancy,

This PIN showed up in a an email from Pintrest today, as a PIN that I could add to my Rose Gold and White Office board that I created on yesterday for my daughter’s upcoming office project that we are going to work on next month. It reminded me that I had bought at least 2 sets of office chairs from yard sales/Resale store over the past two years. You’ve motivated me to do something different with these , so that I can place a bench in both her and my home offices. Love It!!!! Keep the ideas coming.

Lovely makeover and perfect timing.
I have a set of 4 gorgeous Remy Mackintosh chair backs,
some idiot threw out the seats and front legs when I was moving
house 5 years ago. I’ve hung on to them believing they could still
be used. I recently saw a picture of 2 chairs converted to a bench seat
with no instructions.
Thanks to you and Roy I now know how to convert my lovely chair backs
and get a unique piece of furniture.
