For years, Harper Hardware (at the foot of Church Hill on East Broad Street) was the place to go if you had old chairs that needed new cane seats. Last fall, the caning experts at Harper relocated to a storefront in the Hub Shopping Center on Lakeside Avenue. North of the James has more:
Steve Culler and his partner Cynthia MacLean run The Cane Connection… He’s been in the business for years…
“I developed the business at Harper Hardware that’s been dealing with cane for a hundred years,” says Steve. “When I got there twelve years ago they were selling cane material and cane department was in disrepair, and any chairs to be caned were farmed out to a company called Chair Bottom. I started caning those chairs myself.”
In addition to repairing and replacing cane, The Cane Connection offers classes for folks interested in repairing their own chairs. The Cane Connection is located at 6941 Lakeside Avenue, and is open from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
