Here's the green leather recliner that needs repair

2020-03-26_19.11.00.jpg
Just the one arm is very worn, where I rest my left elbow

2020-03-26_19.12.27.jpg
The fabric is torn through to the batting inside

Many of the cushions fold up to give better access to the arm

The arm cushion does not fold up.  Here it is from the front.

Lifting up the arm cushion to see the stitching to the side of the chair

The back of the arm cushion is sewn directly to the chair also

Another angle

There's also some scuffing of the arm cushion where my lap desk scrapes against it.  Not as important, but if it's easy to fix?  Or at least protect against further damage?  Any suggestions?

The left arm is similarly scuffed

Here's a totally unrelated problem that I'd also like to get fixed.  Broken spring in the lower back support.

See it bulging against the leather?

Not easy to get at the broken spring, without unstitching some seams

Peering down inside.  Better pictures coming...

2020-03-26_19.31.54.jpg
Flashlight makes it more visible.  Better pictures coming...

2020-03-26_19.33.25.jpg
Reaching down in with the camera, you can see some details.  Better pictures coming...

Another blind shot, reaching in.  Better pictures coming...

2020-03-26_19.33.45.jpg
Spring against black protective fabric.  Better pictures coming...

Here you can that the spring itself broke.  Its bracket didn't just pull loose from the wood frame.

2020-03-26_19.34.10.jpg
Yeah, the spring itself broke

2020-03-26_19.34.43.jpg
A look from the front bottom instead of the back

2020-03-26_19.35.07.jpg
Can't really get to the back from here, but you can see how the springs that support the seat are hooked at one end

2020-03-26_19.35.24.jpg
The other ends of those springs are screwed to the frame.  I've had to gradually replace all of these brackets over the years.  They're now MUCH stronger than they were.

2020-03-26_19.35.41.jpg
Can we look up the back from the bottom?

2020-03-26_19.35.55.jpg
No, not really.  Can only see the back edge of the bottom springs, not the back springs at all.  Will have to unstich some seams, I think.
