I totally couldn't afford to pay someone, lol. And the cost of labor here, they'd probably advise me to buy a new one for cheaper.

The padding I use for the chair is blankets folded up and pillows, because years ago cats peed on the original cushion. I tried washing it in the bathtub, but that only worked so well, and it was too big for a washing machine. When I asked a dry cleaners if they could do such a thing, the cost was basically ... buy a new one. This is why so many people here don't repair, they throw away and buy new. I would rather figure it out myself!
