They are very old, the seats have detatched from the frames, not worried about 'restoring' them, just need new padding and seats attached to the frames. I have the fabric. Suggestions on padding types? Is there a way to make sure the fabric is thight/lose enough? should I use a staple gun? ....

Remove the seats from the frames and remove the material and padding. Go to the fabric store and buy new foam padding and material. Cut the material to fit the seat plus at least two inches extra on all sides to fold underneath. Pull each side tight and use a staple gun to attach. It should be tight with no play in the material. I've done mine several times, when I've changed the decor in my dining room and they always look great.

Yes, use a staple gun-go to DIY network and look it up-they have step by step how tos. Use foam with a thin layer of cotton batting to smooth it out over the top-not costly at all.
