Repair of a Tulip Chair

Back in the late '50s early '60s my parents bought 6 of the Eames or Knoll type armless tulip chairs - I have not been able to find any of the paperwork for these chairs. Anyway, one of the chairs has broken halfway down the pedestal.

I'm hoping to get some suggestions or who/where I can send the chair for repair. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Thanks!

I found kits to DIY it on line via Google. I'd try doing a search for Tulip chair repairs in San Francisco if you want to have some one do it professionally.


General Disclaimer

Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.

My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
