Reupholstering Chair

I inherited a chair that I want to reupholster, and I'm debating on whether to do it myself or have it professionally done. Both cushions are removable from the wood frame. The top is upholstered front and back and cushion is still in good condition. The bottom piece includes some type of box spring and the cushion is also in good condition.
Does anyone know approx how much labor costs to have something like this done?
I've never reupholstered before, but according to all my YouTube research, this should be a fairly easy starting point. I'm leaning towards doing it myself...any hints/tips?
