Frankl Pretzel rattan chairs too low - Collecting Tiki

B bananatree Member Joined: Apr 08, 2008 Posts: 1	B bananatree Posted posted on Tue, Apr 8, 2008 3:55 PM Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on how I can raise the height of these chairs, and still retain the original value? Pictured is an armless chair, have two of those, one right arm, one left arm, and one two arm club chair, as well as various ottomans & tables. The table heights are fine. The chairs though, are 8 inches high of rattan, then add the original spring cushions, which are 6 1/2 inches, and you have a 14 1/2 inch height. Seeing as how these are in my living room, and the standard height is about 17-18 inches, I'd like to know if I can make them more comfortable for all sizes & ages to sit in. Can rattan be bent and applied to the existing base? Could I get lucite / acrylic bases made for these? Just any ideas at all would be appreciated. I've looked all over the web & don't find this topic anywhere, so please help if you can. I'm in Texas, but would be willing to ship these off somewhere if there is someone who could help me. I never want to part with these, so would be willing to invest in them. If this is not the best place for this topic, would you advise me where to post, please? Thanks, bananatree
