Transform Your Kitchen From Drab To Tropical Fab With This Easy Rattan To Cabinet Doors Upgrade

Transform Your Kitchen From Drab To Tropical Fab With This Easy Rattan To Cabinet Doors Upgrade

Review: "Absolutely brilliant product! I had several pieces of furniture I wanted to refinish and add caning to but I was so intimidated by authentic caning because it’s so delicate to work with and expensive! I didn’t want to mess it up. This caning is so wonderful to use! Cuts easily and was so easy to work with. I applied it to a mirror for beautiful added interest. It stayed flat and I was able to paint without trouble. So happy this product exists and it has transformed so many of my home pieces!" - Megan
