I have two older Moller 83 dining chairs that have breakage of the cording in the front of the seats. I would like to sell them but am wondering if this issue would mean a significant price reduction. Would it be worth it to have a repair shop that does this type of weaving create new seats?
@Plumeria This situation definitely implies a price reduction, as the buyer will need to invest both time and materials to repair the weaving. However, the silver lining is that this type of weave is relatively simple to repair. In fact, if you can obtain Danish paper cord, you might even consider tackling the repair yourself, which I highly recommend. Alternatively, you could opt for a professional repair service, but be aware that weaving can be time-intensive, which may result in higher costs.

Thank you so much for your response. I have actually looked into doing it myself....found a DIY video that shows you every step and an online store that sells the cording. Like you mentioned, it's a time consuming but fairly straight forward process. Maybe I'll give it a go! 😉 Thanks for the encouragement! 👍
