Help Center1.) Keep cane chairs and furniture away from extreme heat situations and areas with low humidity. These conditions can cause the cane to dry out and would easily break.
2.) Distribute body weight evenly when sitting on the cane seat. NEVER kneel on a cane seat or use it as a ladder or as a step stool.
By doing so will certainly cause the cane strands to break and the seat will need to be rewoven prematurely.
3.) How long should a cane seat last?
With appropriate care, attention, and use, your cane-seated chair should last from 5-25 years.
Cane wears out and breaks over time. Now you can have it re-caned and color-matched to suit the other chairs in your set.
The Breuer chair has a detachable seat and back and in a few minutes, you can unscrew the part with the broken cane (i.e. seat or back) and send it to us to re-cane.
NOTE: If you want to purchase the authentic Marcel Breuer Chairs, you can consider chairs sold on Knolls.
We are selling only the production (Class B) but still manufactured from Italy and not from China.
