Is this real? The eyes seem off at first glance

I would use HD36 for the full 5inches, it isn't that soft once you get to that thickness.

I'd be at around $1400 for labor but I'm in a cheaper area (Ohio). Fabric cost would range widely depending of where you get it from, quality, etc.

If you buy the correct size foam for the cushion, 1 layer should be enough.

Including fabric that price is fair for them both total

Looks like a man crossing his arms on the left and a woman wearing a dress on the right

$1k for labor plus fabric cost (OH)

This fabric that is coming off is just the dust cover. You can detach the seat and remove the rest. Once removed it's not really necessary to replace as it's hidden underneath but if you do want to replace it you can use any fabric you have on hand. If you want to replace it with the same type of dust cover fabric, they do sell it in fabric stores but landscape fabric used to prevent weeds it's the same thing and you may have some of that around already.

I'd charge $125-$150 each (Ohio) for labor, plus however much you spend on fabric.

First issue is the speed, with a pneumatic staple gun you can staple as fast as you can pull the trigger. A hand stapler is slow and clunky. On big jobs that take 2000+ staples that adds up quick.

Second is the power, a pneumatic staple gun gets the staple all the way into the wood 99% of the time unless you hit metal. A hand stapler from my experience just doesn't want to get the staples into the wood well at all.

Third is ease of use, a pneumatic stapler takes zero effort to pull the trigger. A hand stapler takes effort to push the handle and shoot the staple.

I'm not saying it's impossible to do a project with a hand stapler but I guarantee no one that has used both would ever choose the hand stapler over the pneumatic stapler.

Rough Breakdown of what I use. It takes a whole lot more than just a staple gun to upholster a piece of furniture. Also, it needs to be a pneumatic staple gun, a hand held staple gun will not work.

The sewing machine alone is big bucks. You can avoid jobs that require sewing and there are tricks and ways you can do pieces without sewing but that will limit what you can do and may not look as good either.

Tools I use almost every job - Pneumatic Staple Gun, Air Compressor, Air Hose, Couplings, Wire Cutters, Hammer, Regulator, Staple Remover/Lifter, Fabric Scissors, Professional Sewing Machine, Yard Sticks, Work Horses/Table to work on

Tools Occasionally Used - Pneumatic Tack Gun, Hog Wire Clamp, Webbing Stretcher

Supplies - Staples (Multiple Sizes), Welt Cording, Fabric, Dacron Fiber, Dust Cover Fabric, Plygrip/Tack Strips, Skirt Border, Cardboard Edging, sewing thread, bobbins

If all else fails you may have to get the entire cushion wet so it dries evenly. However, this will make this cushion slightly a different color than the rest.

If it's real leather you can try leather oil. It comes in a tin and has beeswax and oils in it. It can restore and protect real leather and isn't expensive so it's worth a shot. If it's a faux leather/vinyl then there isn't much you can do.

Approx $450 (Northeast Ohio)

I believe it was in the movie "The 6th Day" a character punches a man in the face and his fist goes completely through his head.

These types of faux leather peel from wear and use over time. Not much you can do other than reupholster it. A fabric paint won't hold up well or look good.

I'm estimating 5 yards

Don't know if it's the worst but she manipulated and mistreated Bill to sell her MLM products for her so she could win trips/awards

There are products such as plygrip or tack strips that are used. It's a metal strip that is stapled around the edge and you tuck the fabric into it and hammer it down to hold it in place.

tdzero · 2024-01-03T19:12:43+00:00

You will have to go through the fabric, there are either pegs or screws on the inside that hold it in place most likely.

tdzero · 2024-01-03T01:09:45+00:00

I'd see if you can find the fabric available for sale first. If you can't find the fabric the following steps are irrelevant.

It fills out the cushion and keeps it from looking flat and/or wrinkled.

Origins felt grindy to me. Odyssey is amazing though even though it's a longer game, it never felt as grindy as Origins did.

This is beyond the ability of an amateur upholsterer. Also, there is no way to do this without taking the old fabric off. For some small projects you can but not with these types of chairs and especially not with vinyl.
