The chairs we had done were seat cushion only. About 3" high cushion with piping all around; seat wider at front than the back.

Labor was $40 per chair. We did not need the cushions replaced. He did include the gauze like netting to cover the foam and when completed he also covered the bottom side with a black material.

The material ran $25 per chair. I was one of the more expensive fabrics. They have multitudes of choices of material. Many close outs that were very nice, but non matched what my wife wanted/needed.

So we spent $65 per chair for 8 chairs. Compared to $250 per chair for new ones!!!

Took about a week to get the material and a week to complete the job. A function of how much he has in front of him at the time.
