In the past several days, all of my siblings have had the opportunity to see and marvel over the beautiful, stunning, workmanship, that you did caning the chair that my father built. You indeed did it justice! Many thanks from my siblings and I.

JC Caning re-caned four of our chairs, each of which was over 40 years old. JC Caning restored them perfectly-better than new. We can strongly recommend JC Caning.

I was thrilled to find Jen listed online when I started looking for someone to recane an old chair that has been in the family my entire life. She was prompt in getting back to me, gave me time frames and did a beautiful job on the chair. The caning itself is extremely well done and the chair cleaned up beautifully. 5 stars for sure.

I am very pleased with the quality of work from JC Caning. I had a very old and badly broken seat on a simple chair. She fixed the chair to match another one. They are both back in my guest bedroom, looking preserved and you wouldn't know which one was repaired. I have a few more chairs for her to fix from my great aunt!

I had two, rather unusual chairs, that belonged to a great Aunt. Both were restored beautifully. Would not hesitate to hire again.

I would highly recommend JC Caning for any repair job you may have. Jen and her team did an amazing job repairing 4 chairs and a very old rocking chair. Her skills and expertise shine through when she restored these family heirlooms to functionality which we will treasure for years to come.

We were extremely pleased with the work that Jennifer did. She repaired chairs that had been in our family for over 100 years. Her work is outstanding and the finished product was extremely well done.

I'm very impressed with the caning work JC Caning recently completed for me. It was an antique chair with a rush seat. It came out beautifully, better than I had anticipated. When I need more work like this done I now know where to go.

Jen Cardwell, JC Caning, did an outstanding job in replacing the fiber rush seat in our really nice antique Hitchcock chair. It is a family heirloom of considerable value to us. The workmanship is highest quality and very professional. Thanks so much!

My 4 Danish Chairs are beautiful thanks to Jen! I really appreciated Jen taking the time to research the various natural cord styles, sizes and colors until we found the perfect cord for the chairs. Her work is professional and she is very skilled in her art. I look forward to working with her again in the future!

We have six mid-century modern Danish Moller chairs that were beautifully re-caned by Jen. Jen found a supplier for authentic Danish rope. We were satisfied with Jen's craftsmanship, attention to detail, and care for our chairs. We would highly recommend Jen.

My husband's parents gave us a Thonet rocker 43 years ago when our first child was born. One of our pets damaged the seat of the rocker. I found Jen and she did a wonderful job of restoring the seat of the rocker. You would never know that the seat was new caning. It matches the back of the rocker perfectly. I highly recommend Jen. Her work is incredible. Thank you Jen for giving new life to my Thonet rocker.

What more can be said apart from "perfection?"  I have waited nearly a year to post a review for JC Caning because I wanted time to pass and wear to be assessed before offering my opinion.
My rocker has been in the family for over 100 years.  The last time it had been re-caned was about 25 years ago, and the seat had broken last year.  So it was time to contract for repair.  Although it was not the closest to me, JC Caning had received the highest ratings.  To be frank, however, there are not many artisans left to practice in this medium.
Jen is personable, honest, competent and professional, delivering the product when promised.  I am very pleased.

I’m most happy to tell everyone who reads this review, that we are VERY pleased with the wonderful work [JC Caning] has done for us ! Not only is the lovely chair a pleasure to use and cherish, the memories of the family members that owned it through the 100+ years of its life is a real bonus. Also, the way [JC Caning] restored my handmade cane stool (childhood 4-H Camp project :-) was most excellent ! These, and all the previous projects [JC Caning] completed for us, have restored many treasures to our home!

We recently had two chairs repaired at JC Caning. Our chairs were over fifty years old, and the rushing bottoms had split. We were very pleased with how close she was able to match the color, pattern and size of the original. She did an excellent job. We will be using her services again when the other chairs in the set need repair.

Jen did a beautiful job restoring my old oak library chair--and helping me to appreciate the value of restoring what we have! It was worth the wait to be fitted in her schedule It is nice to know of a young person perpetuating the craft of caning, as it has become increasingly difficult to find caners. No reservations whatsoever in recommending JC Caning.
