Cane dining chairs, hand-woven in Jodhpur — wholesale for importers, retailers and hospitality.
Hand-woven natural cane on kiln-dried solid-wood frames — sheesham, mango or acacia. The warm, breathable, boho-and-bistro look that moves dining ranges, built with the seat-frame strength, compliance paperwork and container-readiness a serious import programme needs.
Woven cane for the look. Solid wood for the daily load.
Cane is the thin, glossy outer skin peeled from the rattan palm — the same material behind the classic woven webbing you see on chair backs. On its own it is decorative, not structural, which matters more in dining than in any other seat: a dining chair is pulled out, sat into and pushed back several times a day. So we hand-weave the cane onto a kiln-dried solid-wood frame with a reinforced seat rail, letting the timber carry every seated kilogram while the cane gives the back its airy, light-filtering face and that unmistakable natural-fibre warmth. The result reads as genuine craft on a retail shelf and survives a full service on a restaurant floor — not a particleboard shell with a cane-print veneer.
The dining seat that sets the scene — and sells by the set.
On-trend, high sell-through
Woven-cane dining chairs anchor the boho, coastal, Scandi-natural, bistro and farmhouse dining schemes retailers and hospitality buyers are placing. One silhouette suits a city café, a boutique restaurant or a family dining room — and dining chairs reorder in multiples.
Light to handle, easy to seat
The open weave keeps each chair visually and physically light — simple for staff to re-set between covers, cool to sit in warm climates, and forgiving of tight dining layouts where a fully upholstered chair would crowd the table.
Honest, sellable craft
Hand-woven backs on a solid-wood frame carry a sustainability and heritage story your customers pay for — a credible, deforestation-free alternative to mass-market particleboard dining seating.
Indicative specs — every frame wood, weave and finish is made to your order.

Retail & online
Light flat-packed cane dining chairs raise container density, cut freight per unit and protect the weave in transit — a real advantage when chairs ship by the dozen and sell in pairs and sets. We pack retail-ready and Amazon-FBA-ready, under your brand, with ODM catalogue designs or your own via OEM, and can bundle side-and-carver mixes to your set spec.
Hospitality & contract
For restaurants, cafés, bars and hotel dining we reinforce the seat frame and leg joints, double-weave high-wear panels and specify commercial-grade lacquer, so a cane dining chair takes service after service. See how we build for hotel, restaurant and café projects.
Import-ready on every container
Our solid-wood frames ship with FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of Dalbergia sissoo, backed by ISO, SGS and SEDEX/SMETA audits. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB/TSCA formaldehyde-compliant finishes and ISPM-15 export packing — so your dining seating clears the port instead of sitting in it. See every certification we hold.
Care & longevity
Natural cane likes an occasional light damp wipe and good air; keep it out of direct rain and prolonged sun, and wipe spills from the weave promptly at the table. Re-tightening a loosened panel is rare and simple. The solid-wood frame moves with climate, so a stable indoor environment and a soft dry wipe keep it sound, with occasional wood wax protecting the finish. We share care guidance with every order so your buyers keep the set selling for years.
Cane dining chairs — wholesale & export FAQ
What is a cane dining chair made of?
A cane dining chair is built around a kiln-dried solid-wood frame — sheesham, mango or acacia — with hand-woven cane forming the backrest and, on many designs, the seat. Cane is the glossy outer skin peeled from the rattan palm; it gives the chair its airy look and breathability while the timber frame carries the diner's weight. Every chair has at least one solid-wood component; we do not supply plywood-only or panel seating.
Are cane dining chairs strong enough for restaurants and daily dining use?
Yes, when the frame does the work. We build on kiln-dried solid wood so weight is carried by the timber, not the weave, and for contract and heavy-use dining we reinforce the seat frame and leg joints, double-weave high-wear panels and finish with hard-wearing CARB/TSCA-compliant lacquer. Restaurant, café and hotel-dining cane chairs are QC-checked for commercial durability.
What seat height should a cane dining chair be?
Our dining chairs are built to a typical seat height of about 45–48 cm, which pairs with a standard 74–78 cm dining-table top and leaves comfortable knee and lap clearance. Seat height, depth and the back angle are all confirmed at the quote stage, so a chair can be matched exactly to your table range or to a counter-height brief.
Can you supply matching cane dining sets and side chairs?
Yes. We produce side chairs (armless) and carver/arm versions of the same design so buyers can build 4-, 6- and 8-seat sets, and we can match the frame wood and finish to our dining tables for a coordinated range. Tell us the set configuration and we quote the chairs, with or without a matching table, as one consolidated order.
Can you make cane dining chairs to our own design or private label?
Yes. We work as both ODM (our catalogue designs) and OEM — manufacturing to your drawings, dimensions, weave pattern, finish and upholstery, with custom CNC-cut frames, your branding and retail-ready or Amazon-FBA packaging. Send a reference image or spec and we prototype to it.
What is the minimum order and lead time for wholesale cane dining chairs?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you approve wood, weave and comfort first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate dining chairs with dining tables and other furniture into one mixed container. Typical lead time is 30–45 days after sample approval; urgent orders at a premium.
Do cane dining chairs ship flat-pack?
Many leg-based cane dining chairs ship knock-down (RTA), which protects the weave and raises container density — a cost advantage when you are shipping chairs by the dozen. Assembled and part-assembled options are also available. All solid-wood frames use ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
Send a reference or your catalogue — we'll quote, sample and ship.
Tell us the style, set configuration, quantity and market.
