Ellie ★★★★★

I bought this to re-cane my grandmother's rocking chair and the diagrams walking through each weave pattern made it way less intimidating than I expected. The section on calculating how much cane you need saved me from ordering the wrong amount twice.

Hannah S. ★★★★★

The step-by-step diagrams for the seven-step strand cane pattern finally made it click for me — I redid the seat on my grandmother's rocking chair and it looks store-bought. Wish the photos were in color, but honestly the line drawings are clear enough.

James ★★★★☆

The step-by-step photos for the seven-step weave pattern are genuinely clear, and I finally got the corners tight on my second attempt. Wish the binding cane section went a bit deeper, but for a first-timer it covers plenty.
