This isn’t necessarily a difficult piece to recover, but there are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to try to tackle it yourself. I would suggest:
4.when you come to legs or arm rests you may have to snip the fabric and fold it under a bit to get it to go around areas like that. Just snip carefully and make small cuts to start. You can always make the cuts bigger if you need to until it looks right.
Good luck! If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask :)
Thanks. I'm not finding much about sew stuff, nor have I ever sewed anything in my life lol, but I found these and they seem more effective maybe.

Honestly, its probably not worth it. Materials alone will likely far exceeded the cost of a new chair, even using fake leather its probably still going to cost more just buying the fabric, let alone time and effort. A whole new chair like that will probably only cost ~$100.
Here's one for $80 that's on sale right now. Office Depot/Staples/Office Max are a good place to go try them out and fine a comfortable one if buying online is not your favorite.
Oh, yeah. Not enough. I'm 6'2" 255lbs. I eat staples for breakfast.
I've used ones like this before. They work pretty well because the lever is over the staple which puts your force right over it, rather than you trying to squeeze the handle on the opposite side of where the staple is-- which is a pretty poor design.
If that doesn't do it, you need to get something with power. The air powered or pneumatic nailgun-like staple guns are going to be the best but I assume you don't have an air compressor. There are plenty of electric upholstery guns on there but they're quite pricey.
Or you could get the staple as far as possible, then hit it with a hammer and try to not fold it over or crush it-- but that's tough.

I personally don't see the appeal of the 124. My go to for removing staples is this staple puller and these pliers. They've been in constant use for over ten years. I usually get a new staple puller once a year or so. The pointed tips are great for getting under difficult staples.
To answer your question, no you don't have to get every staple. If you're damaging the wood just to remove the staple, it isnt worth it. If they're breaking off you can clip as much off as possible and then tap down what's left. Also consider that if you're not a professional and these are for your home, you're the only person that will ever know ;)
It's doubtful that is real leather. "Genuine" leather is actually a term for leather mixed with plastics and such. My guess is that this is "Genuine" leather. I do leatherwork in my spare time, and "Genuine" leather is shunned by that community because it's deceptive title.

They make smearable products that you can dye and spread over the cusion. Take a look at this - https://www.amazon.com/Coconix-Leather-Vinyl-Repair-Kit/dp/B0721G1HBL.

I think the other option is to reupholster.
