Not only did Don repair the rush on the seat of the chair, he reinforced the legs, cleaned the wood, and made the chair look as though I just picked it up from a furniture store showroom. He did a fantastic job.

Don repaired the seat on an antique rocker, as well as apply some wax to the finish. It looks great and I couldn't be more satisfied! I highly recommend him.

Don repaired my four antique dining room chairs that are approximately 100 years old. They each required a range of attention, from major replacement of parts to minor refurbishment. Don was extremely professional, kind, honest and throrough. He not only repaired the items i asked him to fix, but also noticed did minor touch up on all chairs so that they all looked the same. He did quick work and charged a very fair price. I highly recommend Don and will certainly use his services again for future needs. Thanks Don!

I have 6 dining room chairs that needed to have the caning replaced. I called Don to get some general info. The time he spent on the phone with me, explaining the process and my options etc., was the first indicator of the pride he took in his work and his level of enthusiasm for a job well done. The chairs look amazing; my dining room has a whole new look! Without a doubt, I would recommend Don's Chair Repair to anyone who needs this service. His prices were very reasonable, and his workmanship exceeded my expectations.

This transaction was EASY PEASY.....I dropped my rocking chair off. Don looked it over...gave me a price...and I picked the chair up less than a week later. The workmanship was excellent and you could tell that he really cared about my chair and his art. Thank you Don for making my grandfather's rocker come back to life.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Simple pricing system. This work is all labor and time intensive and the material needed is negligible. Pressed cane is $60.00 for a seat or back plus $5.00 a running foot for material. Staining the new cane to match the wood is an additional charge. Hand woven (the most time consuming) is $2.00 for each hole around the wooden frame of the chair. Super fine cane is $2.50 a hole. Artificial rush seats are $10.00 an inch across the front of the chair. Estimates are given on refinishing and repairs on request. Send me a picture!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Simple! We agree on the price, I confirm it by email, you drop off the chair, I do the work you pay me!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I was first married, my wife agreed to repair a chair for the Women's Club. I had never done it before but after six attempts, I finally got it right! Forty years later, I am still doing them.
