    I have four rattan and wrought-iron chairs that need re-doing does anyone know of a business in San Jose that does this kind of work. A friend of mine got her chairs done in the fake(plastic)rattan and they look great but she didn’t keep the address of the business….Thanks Janice

    This person specializes in re-doing woven rattan furniture. We live on the Caribbean and the real rattan breaks down fast although much preferable I believe….J
