The national average cost to reupholster a chair is between $300 and $1,000. Most people pay an average of $650 for a typical padded back, single cushion, leather arm chair that is picked up and delivered directly to your door when complete. At the low end, a single cotton bar stool costs about $60.

Reviving Fabric Upholstery Use an upholstery attachment or a soft brush to gently clean the fabric. Vacuuming regularly keeps the fabric looking clean and prevents dirt from settling into the fibers. Stain removal: For fabric upholstery, it's important to address stains promptly to prevent them from setting in.
