We buy basket making supplies and other craft goods. They have lots of finish products so it’s a little bit like a Museum. you can Get your chair caned again.
Very friendly and knowledgeable. They can build or rebuild a rattan chair including the frame. They rebuilt the seat from a ww1 Jenny and a Ford trimotor. I went to buy a rattan pole to make Escrima sticks but saw lots of supplies and books for gourd art and musical instruments. Also stuff for weaving and tying. A quick buy and run visit turned into a 1hr tour and visit.
Super interesting place. Kind of difficult to find a shop to purchase caning stuff. This place evidently also repairs cane furniture, and has classes. Filled to ceiling (not s joke!) with great pieces of furniture.
I am redoing chairs myself and drove a couple of hours to try to decide on a pattern of pre-woven cane. The lady working was so nice, she gave me several free swatches to take home so I could be sure. Also she advised which materials would be easy for a beginner to use. Customer service is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.
Only drawback, very limited Saturday hours. I wish they were open all day since shop is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Don’t forget, there’s an online store if you make it during there hours of operation!
Store has the most beautiful small multi-colored woven baskets-so fine and detailed, wish I could afford them!
