Every week we are visited by people who bring their wicker and cane furniture to our store to be repaired. We repair and recane furniture ranging in size from a child’s chair to a love seat and dining room tables.

CANING TYPES

Traditional Caning or Lace Cane
Chairs completed with this material are characterized by drilled holes around the outer edge of the seat. Caning is achieved through a 7-step French method.

Pressed Cane
If your chair has a routed groove around the seat, pressed cane will be applied and locked down with the appropriate size of "spline".

Splint Weave or Flat Reed
Splint weave is typically 1/2" or 5/8", but is available in smaller and larger sizes. It is the most cost efficient material we carry.

Binder Cane
Patterns woven with binder cane can be most closely compared with the above-referenced splint weave. Binder cane, however, is a narrower material and is more time-consuming.

Rush and Seagrass
Rush is available in natural or fibre (man-made). Rush seats are woven using a figure eight pattern, resulting in a seat with four triangular areas. Seagrass can be woven in the same manner or in a checkerboard pattern.

We keep all materials in stock, and provide all types of caning, to restore your pieces to their former glory!
