Use any good stapler that will hold firmly. The "Power Shot" is easiest for small feminine hands to work because you press it down on the front instead of the back. I work at Home Depot and have used this myself. Believe me it is easier on your hands. You may need some quilting batting for padding under the fabric. It depends on the thickness of the fabric.<br><b>References : </b><br> Take off the old cover carefully and you can use it as a pattern to cut out the new cover.

Can you peel back an edge somewhere to find out? I have reupholstered some antique furniture and have always used a upholstery staple gun. Something I found to be helpful is taking a picture of what the original upholstery looks like (before you rip it up) so that I can replicate it as close as possible.<br><b>References : </b><br> How is it upholstered in the first place?
