We bought a sofa and two chairs at an auction for $90. They were Bassett (decent brand), and we decided we were going to get them reupholstered. We got a quote from one place that was upwards of $1,000 for all 3 pieces. So my wife decided she was going to do it. It took her pretty much an entire weekend, and it still cost several hundred dollars in fabric. I helped her as much as I could. They look great, but had we known the price and time it would take up front, we would have just bought a set we liked as is.
