hello yes it is possible to transform the chair the way you want it i think your biggest challenge will be the cost for your materials and labor i own a national furniture repair company and if you would like to have it done i can probably get someone out to you to assist you with that project,please feel free to give me a call at your earliest convenience,also do you know the maker of the chair.Goodluck.6789787321.
