I scored 6 shield backs on craigslist. I paid $150 for the six chairs, the bonus was they came with a pretty cool federal style dining table
that I had absolutely no room for. I cleaned up the table and put it back up for sale on craigslist. I ended up getting $300 for it. So not only were these chairs free, but I made a little profit!
Rustoleum spray paint in white semi-gloss was $20 and I covered the seats in canvas drop cloth...yup drop cloth, which set me back all of $9.00.
These seat covers were nasty. Dirty ugly tapestry and there was equally as ugly green fabric underneath...barf.
