I recently had three wicker bar stools repaired at ACACIA, and I was very impressed with the quality of workmanship (the repair, and the staining, too) and generally the entire experience. It's an esoteric speciality to be sure, but Steve certainly knows his business. He's a genuine craftsman - the real deal. It turned out that my stools were manufactured in a way that made the repair more challenging than was apparent initially. Steve was very good about communicating with me, and being creative about finding appropriate solutions. I would absolutely recommend ACACIA to anyone looking to have wicker repaired. Consider me a satisfied customer!

Hi Stephen:
I just wanted to say I'm super pleased with the job you did to fix the seat of my treasured wooden "red chair". I thought the worn-out rattan on the seat meant the end of that chair, but now it's as good as new, or I should say as good as old -- as it was years ago when I found it at a yard sale! Thank you for doing such a top-quality restoration.

Hi Steve,
A quick note to thank you so much for the work you did on my late Mothers wicker chair. The end result is beyond my expectations and I’m thrilled with it. You are a true artist, your attention to detail is amazing, from weaving the new canes in, attaching where necessary , staining the new canes to blend with the old, working with the upholsterer to provide a perfect and comfortable seat & back cushion. Thank you, I’m very happy and will not hesitate in recommending you.
Best regards,
Sherril M.

"Excellent work, accommodating"
A local furniture restorer suggested Acacia to replace the caning on a stool. I emailed Steve, with a photo of the stool, and he telephoned me back with an estimate.
We were travelling to Vancouver on an afternoon ferry, and needed to drop the stool off in the evening. Steve accommodated this, which I really appreciated as we were flying early the next morning.
On our return 12 days later Steve had the stool all done, excellent job with the caning nice and tight. He also had rounded off the edge of the wood under the caning, which was too sharp and probably the reason the old caning failed in the first place.
I would certainly recommend Steve and Acacia.

Hi Stephen,
This past weekend I saw the 4 chair backs that you fixed for my cousin...
Wow, I am so impressed!! I just wanted to tell you that your work is amazing and they look absolutely beautiful...my cousin and her family are very pleased as well. We all like the lighter colour of the weave too. Also, I can't believe how comfortable they are to sit in as they offer nice support for the back.
Thank you for all your hard work!! Much appreciated!!

"A Wonderful Job!"
- I am delighted with Stephen's craftsmanship and care in renovating an old, child-sized seagrass rocking chair that had been a gift to me 55 years ago. It is a pleasure to see it brought back to its original condition. I'm sure it will be a family heirloom that future generations will one to value and enjoy. Thanks so much Stephen!

"A store of knowledge!"
- I have 2 old steamer chairs with wicker seats that
need fixing. I contacted Stephen and emailed him photos. He phoned back to give me various options and lots of good advice. I was very impressed and would certainly give him any future repair business. It's great that we still have local people with the knowledge and interest to fix things.

We delivered two precious antique chairs from my grandmother to stephen for repair. The cane seats on each were in very sad shape.
We collected two very different chairs today. We were delighted to
find the caning replaced perfectly and the chairs restored to their
original beauty. Gran would be pleased!

I took the chair over to your partner this evening. What a wonderful person he is.
He's going to get you to look at the structure, to see if the frame can be taken apart to make the weaving less arduous. So great to have found the two of you.
Cheers,
Miranda
Thanks so much for our "new" seats- a beautiful job!
