<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 3293798, member: 4438&quot;]It definitely depends on the piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>We got an armchair/throne chair from my father in law. It was probably mid century (the stretcher didn’t show a lot of detail) but the chair was well built. The fabric was just old and stained, so I redid it with leather and nail heads.&nbsp; It cost a lot but we were going to keep the chair, so I wanted it to look nice. It’s not a chair I would have bought and done that to, because the cost far exceeded the value, but it’s one we were going to keep.</p><p><br /></p><p>The spool turned chair I’d purchased a few years ago was fairly inexpensive to purchase, and it was unique. That chair was going to my office, as I wanted an antique chair but didn’t want to being one with sentimental value. My building was built in the 1950s, so I chose a more modern-looking, comfortable, durable fabric, and not one that I would have chosen for my living room. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also had to redo a vintage Danish Art Deco channel back chair, and I did it in red mohair. That was super expensive but the chair is nice, it’s in my living room, and it goes with another one that was already done in brown mohair. I have a third one in the set with its original velvet burnout fabric. The fabric is in perfect condition, and it would be very expensive to redo, so I’ve left it as is.</p><p><br /></p><p>This chair I posted is nice but borders on not being worth it to reupholster. I’ll see if I can get a better deal, and maybe wait to reupholster it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
