I have a reclining chair which had badly lost its colour and looked awful and i was considering getting rid of it if the colour kit didnt work added the colour to chair and first try the results were not good was a bit more firm second time around and it looked as good as new the only thing is if you have kids jumping around the house all the time the colour does fade off slightly and you will have to reapply every four to fives months but if you dont it will look good permanently
