Pressed Cane Webbing Kit 1/2" Fine Open Mesh with splines, Wedges and Instructions

Superfast delivery. Excellent product. Great vendor.

This was my first attempt to replace a damaged seat of an antique rocking chair that I had rescued from a burn pile and restored. The previous seat was done by a professional in another state and was no longer available. I built some of my own tools to install the webbing. I have since repaired a chair. The process is not as difficult as it appears to be.

Does the job

My sister-in-law has 6 chairs with a cane back. Some how one of the chairs developed a whole in the cane. While I was visiting she started talking about buying a new table and chairs. I new I could easily repair her chair, and it looks good as new! She was extremely happy and pleased.

I ordered this brand because it says that it has an extended length of the cane webbing of 72 inches. It is not even close. It’s more like 18 inches. I do not have enough to complete even part of one chair. It was a complete waste of money.

This was just what I needed to replace some old broken seating in a chair that my dad repaired for me 50 years ago. The suggestion to soak replacement cane for 30-45 minutes was not enough, I soaked it for 3 hours and then it was pliable enough to install. Other than that, the instructions were good.

I have a Restoration Hardware chair with cane seat that my teen son stood and and his foot went through, ugh. This is almost identical match (except color, which I could stain if I wanted but a cushion hides it.) I'm crafty so I watched a video on how to install and it was pretty simple. There are a few "prickly" fibers that if you graze your hand over, you can feel. But I think that's the case with all cane seating, nature of the material. Would absolutely purchase again.

First time experience attempting this came out fairly well.Webbing required a 2 hour soak in warm water to become sufficiently pliable. I probably could have soaked the material even longer. Spline required about 30 minutes soaking to become pliable enough to conform to the curves in the project.Wedges provided were a bit on the thick side. I sanded them so that they fit the chair groove along with two thicknesses of webbing. I also rounded off the sharp edges a bit.
