[@milesandmommy]

You made this look so easy and given me the courage to try it my self. Great video!

[@lilibritosa]

Thank you! let me know how it goes!

[@kelliebenamos1080]

I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm restoring my parents' 1975 Breuer dining room set and one chair needs new cane backing on the back. It's pretty expensive to purchase new replacements and they're not offered on the original colors so what's a girl to do? I'll be giving this a try. I hope it works! 🤞

[@lilibritosa]

Im so happy to hear that! You got this 💖

[@alextharp8122]

Love this video. Cesca chairs were actually first made in 1928 in the Bauhaus style

[@sassyinkorea]

thank you so much for this informative video! I also got a cesca chair for free. someone throw the chair away because the center was damaged. now i'm confident to changed the cane like you did. :)

[@lilibritosa]

You're very welcome! Truly some man's trash was our treasure lol You got this! 💖

[@LizbethLeeds]

Old stain patches male those chairs special, I love those two colours

[@lilibritosa]

Thank you so much babe! 💖

[@nathaliamora1328]

Hi there!! Thank you for the great video! Wondering where you bought the cane/spline? I live in LA and I’ve visited the fabric district here a few times and haven’t had any luck :/

[@emily76m]

I wanted this style chair for dining table desperately but def wasn’t in my budget and I finally had given up and drive to a goodwill to just find SOMETHING, right when I walked in they were putting 4 of these out 🤯🥹 and they were 8 bucks a piece! Literally the day I had given up on my dream chairs! Thank you for this, I was wondering if they would last me and now I know I can do it myself!

[@lilibritosa]

Omg you're the luckiest! I would die :O

[@Heyu7her3]

$8??? Usually Goodwill ups the price on items they know are expensive/ popular

[@emily76m]

@@lilibritosaI wouldn’t shut up about it for a long time let me tell you. Like striking gold. They aren’t the real ones but they still look great. Love this style soooo much ❤

[@emily76m]

@@Heyu7her3they were just putting them out and I yeah I agree but I guess they just didn’t know?

[@sharkyg8r]

So happy to find this video! I was just given a set of 8 of these! Can't wait to flippem.

[@lilibritosa]

Omg that’s so exciting! I’m so happy for you, a set of eight is a gem 💖

[@lillianhugo4929]

Hey Lili!! I just acquired 3 of these for free that some lady was getting rid of XD 2/3 of the backs need new caning, with cushions on the bottom (not cane) and no armrests. I actually also live in LA and just stopped by Cane & Wood today!! They were explaining how I could do it myself and my more crafty friend who was with me thought it seemed like too much work. I'm hesitant to spend the $90 for each chair for them to cane it for me and I also think I would feel so accomplished doing it myself, but also don't want to regret it and feel in over my head. This kind of stuff does not come naturally to me. How much of an undertaking was this, and how time consuming was just the back without the armrest or bottom? Evaluating my options here!!

[@kkimberly2004YT]

They look great. I can tell one chair is smaller, but I don't know if smaller means authentic or non-authentic.

[@lilibritosa]

Thank you so much! I believe the taller one is "more authentic" (still not sure on it 🤔) It has the most intricate work in the wood frame and chrome bars! 🤞🏼

[@CamielleRobidas]

Hi Lili, Which color did you use for the varnish? Thanks!

[@sunz482]

I have these chairs for years and they have not been used. Just sat on one and it creaked a little. I live in a dry climate, should I be conditioning them somehow?

[@101Rozzoman]

This is super awesome! Love it:)

[@krishnacruz5419]

I can’t concentrate with that ribbon on your neck 😂

[@Heyu7her3]

Mahogany/ walnut stain is timeless

[@pantmic]

thank you for this!! you did an amazing job

[@MultiBronzo]

Hi, how did you refurbish the wood parts? Regards

[@blakelythorp9107]

What is the material called that you pushed into the canal after gluing the cane?

[@lilibritosa]

Hi Blakely! Its called a spline, its used to push and keep the cane in its place.🤗 I would measure the original one you take out or take a piece to your local vendor to make sure you get the correct one, since the size of the canals can vary! 💖Best of luck!!

[@neatfreak1000]

And the authentic chair is... (drumroll) Wait for it... That's right, neither! Still, an admirable job.

[@lilibritosa]

Thank you so much!!

[@junwang8968]

I found the exact same chair on the street as well!!!!

[@lilibritosa]

omg no way!! we got so lucky lol 💖

[@AmberZarate]

how much did the cane replacement cost? :)

[@lilibritosa]

Hi babe! I think in total I only spent about $18 on the cane and spline but possibly $35 including the wood glue, wood stain, and the steel wool! nothing crazy. I would definitely try to find a local cane store than ordering it online this may be cheaper. 💖

[@tiffanyanadapentz]

@@lilibritosa Hi! great video,thank you! can you share where you bought the cane and spline? thx

[@tanstewie5853]

from my research, the right one is the real one and the left one is a reproduction of it by another company.

[@sanjayharsh3532]

Mam saw this video now by chance and liked it very much I saw this video only for the chair but one small request kindly visit a nearby dentist in your neighborhood and get the filling done in between your front 2teeth since the gap looks awkward in the video think it over thanks
