Reseating your Shaker chairs is the best way to extend the life of your original investment. We had made the classic Shaker reproduction chair for over forty years before selling our company. We made hundreds of chairs of many styles and sizes, handweaving most of them with cotton canvas Shaker Tape webbing. We also slid a poly-foam pad in for support and comfort.
Saving chairs from the landfill by extending their usable life is not what I consider a business. I think of this hobby as more of an extension of my personal philosophy of sustainability. Why cut down another tree to make another chair if the chair you’re sitting on has many years of good use in it it but for its seat needing to be replaced?
For more information on the process, please send me an email to ross@rosstimberlake.com and we can discuss a plan for getting your chairs reseated. Thank you and it will be a pleasure speaking with many of you again. (To date, the oldest chairs I have reseated for a client were made in 1975 and arrived on my doorstep in the hands of his son. The year was 2012.)
I can send you a suggested cost sheet for reseating Shaker chairs that may be similar to the list below, depending on a number of factors. Here are the steps for determining the cost:
Measure the seat width: between the BACK LEGS & FRONT LEGS and between the FRONT AND BACK LEGS (THE SIDE RAILS) …AND THEN
Send to Ross an Inquiry at ross@rosstimberlake.com
NOTE: MEASUREMENTS SHOWN BELOW ARE FOR THE MEASUREMENT BETWEEN THE BACK LEGS
TRANSPORTATION, SHIPPING, PACKAGING, AND SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT COSTS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICES BELOW.
