How to Choose Chair Hardware Parts and Repair Supplies
The right chair repair part depends on the style of chair, the damaged area and how much of the original material you want to preserve. Some projects only need a new seat, cane webbing or reed spline. Others may call for chair glue, a rocking chair runner or specialty hardware for a piano stool or Morris chair.

Chair Parts for Antique, Vintage and Rocking Chair Repair

Chair Seats, Caning Supplies and Restoration Tools
Many chair repair projects begin with the seat. A worn, cracked or missing seat can often be replaced without refinishing the entire chair. Leather chair seats and fiber chair seats are useful for antique chair restoration, while pre-woven cane and natural chair cane are better suited for cane chair seats, chair backs and decorative woven panels.
If your chair frame is loose, chair glue and basic restoration tools can help stabilize the piece before you install a new seat or cane panel. If the chair has a grooved opening, it likely uses pre-woven cane and reed spline. If it has drilled holes around the seat frame, it likely requires hand chair cane.
