Re-upholstering a chair?

[bullygirl979]

Anyone have a ballpark as to how much it would cost? Bought a chair from pier 1 and the foster dog ruined the corner of the chair.

Some guy offered me $50 for the chair. Trying to see if I should keep it and re-upholster it or just take the $50 and run. The chair was $450 new if you want to weigh in, lol.

Nice chair. It would be worth it to get a quote.

(No idea what the ballpark would be, sorry. I just wanted to see the chair)

I would get a quote. You could do it yourself too.

I'm thinking reupholstering it would be better than letting it go for $50...especially since you paid $450 for it.

Probably. I think I'm in this firestorm LET'S SELL EVERYTHING because I'm moving and I don't want the hassle, lol. I got a few online quotes so we will see!

Can you see about getting a new cushion from Pier 1? How long ago did you buy it?

I would guess around $500. It would depend on what kind of fabric you wanted. I got a quote from Fabrics and Findings for $500 to reupholster a reproduction Eames lounge chair, including the ottoman.

I have a chair similar in size. My upholsterer told me 2-300 plus 8 yards of a solid fabric. More if it's a pattern to be matched.

I would guess that it'll cost you as much as the chair. If you aren't in love with it, sell and get a new one.
