A good upholsterer may charge you over $200 if the the cushions need padding added. I had gotten estimates ranging from $75 to $225. I was told that they would not be able to get all of the wrinkles out. I finally gave up on finding a good upholsterer in my neck of the woods and bought the seat cushions with the covers already installed. They just snapped into the seat frames. If you have the time you can recover your seats yourself. I just didn't have the patience.
