  • Recaning a chair

    I have a wooden chair with caned seat and back.  The caning on the seat is beginning to separate from the wood frame.  Can anyone recommend someone who repar this well in the East Bay?  I am in Berkeley, but willing to travel for the right artisan.

    • Have you tried the Caning Shop on Gilman?   I've used them a few times and they're quite excellent.  They've been in business for years and have an outstanding reputation.  https://www.caning.com/

    Some friends had their 40 year old chairs re-caned at the Caning Shop on Gilman. They are now beautiful!!

    I used The Caning Shop Restoration in Berkeley for an antique chair that I inherited.  They did a great job.http://www.thecaningshoprestoration.com/index.html

    The Caning Shop on Gilman in Berkeley is your spot -they've re-caned several bentwood chairs for us and do a perfect job. Not cheap, but perfect.

    Whenever I go to the Caning Shop in Berkeley, I see chairs there either waiting for re-caning or waiting to be picked up after having been re-caned.

Looking for a place to have two very old chair seats re-caned. Would like an excellent job without museum prices. Possible? Thanks! Linda

THE place for caning is The Caning Shop, 926 Gilman, Berkeley, 527 5010. They're completely knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and the store is interesting, too. Linda
