Chair Porn

A few years ago I bought some dining room chairs from a used furniture shop called the Trolley House Emporium. These chairs all had perfect cane backs, but the cane seats were damaged. I spent a few years using chair pillows on them so I wouldn’t fall through the seats, but now that a babe is on the way I figured I should be an adult and get them fixed.

I went with the only cane shop I could find in Philadelphia, http://www.chaircaners.com, which actually has a fantastic website. The price was reasonable. The turnaround time was lengthy and communication was not stellar, but at least they picked up and dropped off the chairs for me, which was a huge bonus, and the workmanship was top notch.

That’s with a chair cushion. You can see that they matched the new cane seats perfectly to the older cane on the back. I’m so happy with my “new” chairs! Now to tackle the rest of the to-dos before baby comes…
