I Love it! Having done some leather upholstery work I have found that there are leather upholstery tacks that look really nice you can get them in lots of different finishes. Also if because I am used to sewing it and not gluing it I would have put a flap on each side of the corner cut then seamed that together folding the flap inside would this work as well for Latex?

Moin aus dem Ruhrpott . Der Hocker sieht ja genial aus . Gefällt mir . Nur eine Frage ; Latex sollte man für gewöhnlich nicht lange dem Sonnenlicht aussetzen . Wie steht es dann mit der Haltbarkeit des schönen Stückes aus ? Lg , Ralf

The durability depends on how you take care of it and how you use it.
F.x. the chair I made, I polish it from time to time to keep it nice and shiny and thats about it. Its not slippery as long as it is not swimming in polish.
Here I use a sponge to apply slightly the polish (I use the white milky polish from Blackstyle).
If you use it a lot, have it in everyday use and there is a lot of friction to it, then you will of course see after some time that the latex might become doll there. But I cant tell you how long that will take.
Prone to damage..here I can only say, the thicker the latex the better, dont make gardening furniture out of it and dont stand with your shoes on it.

what do you thing the durability of it is? how would you care for latex furniture? would it be prone to damage? to keep it shiny, would it be slippery?
