Yeah my mom and I are trying to find an antique dresser to do this very thing to and I agree with one of the posters who said “why bother” when I saw one of the pictures of the dresser. Ugh. Where do you find these treasures? I live in a small town in Central Texas and it’s pretty void of good antiques – mostly junk that people wish were antiques! If you have a decent resource for quality antiques, I’m all ears.

Sarah, I have three dining chairs with broken caning like yours. What did you use for the seat structure? I can’t figure out how to fix mine and they have TONS of potential!

I love this chair. I have for almost identical chair that I have despised until now. The fabric is perfect. Unfortunately, IKEA doesn’t sell their fabric online and the closest store is about 6 hours away. And Sarah, thanks for sharing your instructions here in the comments.
