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!!

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.

I had great work done by the Caning Shop, 926 Gilman St. x 8th.
They've been in business for many years and their work is top notch.

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.
