Refurbished Ikea Chairs

A friend gave me these IKEA chairs and we've had them outside for two summers now. For some reason, they were attacked by a crazed squirrel. The attack left both chairs with scars, to wit:


But, thankfully they had covers that I could remove to sew new covers. Here they are:
