Chair cane is made from the bark of a rattan palm vine that is carefully cut into long, thin strands.  These glossy strands are a pleasing, durable weaving material. They age beautifully from a light blonde to a rich caramel shade over time. It can be stained however the glossy finish prohibits stain from easily penetrating the material, a couple coats may be necessary with proper dry time in between.

Cane is a durable material. Keeping cane free of dust and dirt will help extend the life of the cane. If necessary it can be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth, be sure to allow to adequately dry after cleaning. Do-not use too much water when cleaning cane as it can cause the material to sag.
