This type of weave is labor intensive and the materials more costly than fiber rush. 1/2-inch wide or larger reed: A basic repair of 17 inches across the front rail is about $150.

Look underneath the seat or on the back of the back. If you can see loops of cane where cane has been woven through holes drilled into the wooden frame, then you have a laced cane chair. Now look at the top of the seat/front of the back (read #2). 2. Look where the cane meets the seat on top. If it is a laced cane chair, there will be a wider piece of cane that has been sewn onto the seat frame with loops of cane.
