More Important Info

How to order tape: 

We price and sell our Shaker tape by the yard. While we seek to minimize the number of splices in your order, they will invariably occur over longer lengths. However, we will guarantee that splices will not occur more frequently than once every 15 yards.

Wondering how much tape you need to order? For reweaving any given chair, the following formula works well:

First, measure the front rail between the posts, in inches. Second, measure straight across from the center of the back rail to the center of the front rail, in inches. Multiply these numbers together. Divide the resulting figure by 9, and that's the total number of yards of 1" tape required. For 5/8" tape, divide by 5.3, rather than by 9. If you want to use two colors, order half the total number of yards per color.

More Shipping & Handling info:

We charge shipping and handling based only on our packing materials and the estimated cost to get your package to you. While we normally ship orders within 3 working days from receipt of your order, we will notify you of any delay of over 5 days. If you have placed an order for a back-ordered item we will reach out to let you know when to expect the order.
