Any caveats?

I guess the worst thing is pulling all those staples.

Best tools to pull staples with is an awl and a pair of diagonal
cutters. Dont use the cutters to cut....grab the staple with the
cutters then roll the cutters instead of pulling.. Use the awl to pry
up the staple enough to get the cutters on it. Did this for 7 years.
Getting the cloth at the right tension comes with experience.

I disagree. The best tool for removing staples or opening cartons that are
stapled is a staple removal tool.

This price sounds absurd unless they have gone up a lot since I bought mine
but the picture is good.

Steve, I have only done it on a slate bed that spray glued down so I have no
other advice to offer.
