    Guide
    Step 1
    Lubricate the frame well with Petroleum Jelly,
    especially the corners.
    Step 2
    Spread lubrication evenly over frame,
    and position frame in front of you.
    Step 3
    Put the new sling over the top corners
    Step 4
    Grab the sides of the
    sling and pull it down firmly.
    Step 5
    Pull the sling down completely
    before rounding the bottom corner.
    Step 6
    Position the frame on your lap and pull the sling over
    the bottom corner and out to the front all in one motion.
    Step 7
    Position the frame sideways in your lap, and using both hands and a towel,
    grab the binding at the top, and firmly pull the sling towards you.
    Flip the frame over and do the other side.
    This removes the wrinkles as well as gives
    you more room to pull the front pocket over.
    Step 8
    Continuation of the previous step.
    Step 9
    ***DO THIS CAREFULLY***
    Using a pair of rubber handled pliers(or other pry tool)
    pry one side of the front pocket over the corner.
    Once that side is on, slowly work the remaining corner over.
    If you cannot seem to get the remaining corner over, take the first corner off,
    and put the other one on, then try again. This helps to stretch out the material.
    Your Done
    You should now have a beautifully redone piece of furniture.
