Delivery OptionsReturn/Exchange Policy Ratings & Reviews Most Helpful Reviews | Very happy These chairs are really beautiful well-made and look great in my space. They fit perfectly in my space and look just as pictured on line. Could not be happier. I bought two Linen and Cane-Back chairs and these chairs are FABULOUS! The chairs are well constructed with just enough aging applied to the finish. The seat cushion is a tad stiff, however, when I added a square pillow to the back of the chair, it not only added additional interest, but made the chair much more comfortable. Love it This chair is really beautiful surprisingly comfortable and very sturdy. Im extremely happy with the way it looks and the size it is substantial.
However some of the white distressing has come off of the arms and the back where hand and head/neck would naturally rest. This was one of the first pieces of newly ordered furniture to arrive at our new house so it got a lot of use early on. That said it has held up exceptionally well to a two year old! | Affordable accent chair An affordable and tasteful option if it will not see frequent use. I question whether it would withstand high volume use. Previous reviewer correct that wood is far darker than it appears as it lacks the white accents seen in the photos. My finish is duller darker and flatter than the photos. cane-back chair Although I like the chair the color is far darker than shows on the website. The linen is darker as is the wood thus I may have to get it reupholstered or the finish on the wood changed. Disappointed I agree with the first reviewer. This chairs painted finish is darker than the picture. But not only that the antique wash they attempted to put on it was very cheaply done.
I couldnt live with it for very long and I ended up painting the whole thing except the cane part the next day then distressed it then applied a glaze and it looks SO much better! Now I love it. Its really a shame they didnt get the paint right. I do like the style of the chair and how they left the caning a natural color.Okay-so who were you going to call about repairing that wicker chair in the attic?

What's also common is for a cane chair to start losing its caning long before the frame itself begins to deteriorate.
If you have a chair that's in good shape structurally but the cane is missing or falling apart, don't throw the chair away. In many cases, you can salvage the chair or replace the cane yourself. The best technique will depend upon how the original cane was attached. Identify Caning Style There are several methods for caning chairs, and your chair is designed to accommodate the original method. Determining how your chair was originally caned is not hard; all you have to do is look at the edge of the opening in the back of the chair. If there is a shallow ridge running along the front of the chair back, which will probably be filled with a piece of spline, this indicates that it originally used pressed cane. This is pre-woven cane that was pressed into place during manufacture. If there are holes around the hole in the chair back, this is an indication that the chair was originally hand-caned, or woven by hand. If the holes do not go all the way through, your chair may have French cane, which is usually only found on old, high-quality cane chairs.
French cane is unusual and may be too difficult to attempt yourself. Woven Cane Weaving cane is a time-consuming process and requires skill. However, there are many resources available to help you; if you're patient, you may find re-caning a woven cane chair to be a rewarding project. There are a number of patterns that you can choose, which will all look different; this enables you to easily find a pattern that suits your taste. You need strand-style chair cane for the project, and you need to measure the hole diameter on your chair to determine the right size. Cane supply companies can help you determine the proper cane size for your chair's holes and may provide conversion charts. Pressed Cane Pressed cane is easy to work with and, while it requires a little patience, you probably won't find it difficult to replace the cane on a pressed-cane chair. You need a sheet of cane that is the proper size to cover the opening in your chair back; you do not need to measure anything else -- any type of pressed cane will work for your chair.
You can purchase different weaves and hole sizes in pressed cane.You must clean the old cane from the groove in the chair back thoroughly. It's usually held in with some glue, as well as a spline, which can be difficult to remove. Alternatives Cane-backed chairs typically have frames that are much sturdier than the cane. You don't have to replace the cane at all to enjoy the chair. For instance, you could use upholstery and padding to cover over the old cane if the condition is not too bad, or put an insert of a sturdier substance into the hole and then put upholstery and padding over that. It should be noted that upholstering a chair could damage the value and permanently alter the chair, which may be a concern to you depending upon the age, value and condition of the chair. Depending upon the chair's construction, you may be able to use similar materials, such as rush rope, rattan or wicker to weave a differently styled back.
