i've had a go but can't get it right without losing bits of the chair at the sides and making it blurry/rough

If you duplicate the original (turn original off) and use a layer mask, select the mask by clicking, you then make the selections with the Pen Tool......

.....then fill with black.

You can make additional selections with the Pen Tool to add to the layer mask and fill them with black as well.
All the tool paths are saved under Paths and can be individually selected and edited.
