I've never really reupholstered any furniture except a simple desk chair, but I saw a decent looking wing-back recliner someone is giving away:

How difficult a job for a rank amateur would it be to re-upholster such a chair?

I have the basic tools (upholstery stapler, staple pullers, stripping tools, walking foot sewing machine, air nailers and woodworking equipment, etc.) and some experience stripping furniture (I worked in an upholstery shop in high school as my first job), but no real experience reupholstering anything like this.

Is there anything especially difficult in reupholstering a chair like this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
