How to Repair Chair Vinyl Leather

We have this office chair at home for many years.  It's comfortable and still in great operational condition.  However, the vinyl leather started to come off.  The chair is still good so we don't want to just throw it away.  However, we need a solution to fix the flaky leathers.  The flakes are actually making a mess everywhere.  

So, we found these leather patches on Amazon and thought we would give it a try.  It's about $12 for 2 12x24 inches sheets.

The tricky part is the arm rest.  In order to make it nice, Dave took the arm rest off from the chair, put leather patch adhesive on and then put the arm rest back.  It's quick and simple.  The simple DIY project took about 20 mins.   

The only thing is we didn't quite match the color of the chair.  But that's ok for us.  We are glad that the chair will last longer now!

Take a look at this video to see how Dave did it!
