If you are going to try to resell it,, I would not do it !! Chances are whoever bought it would have a different idea of fabric for their home and it would cost a penny or two to have it done !! However if you want to keep it,, I would reupholster it !! Since I don`t know what you paid for the set,, I would check your area antique shops for values there !! Might do better in your area than here in Texas !!
