Hi @ang2,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

Have a look through our best advice article How do you restore cane furniture for some guidance.

If there were particular areas that you had concerns about, can you point them out so we can offer advice for that specific location?

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a supplier for wicker.

Perhaps our helpful members such as @LizzieCro, @Dave-1 and @Herrenovacation may be able to assist further.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Good Morning @ang2 

Just had a look in spotlight as they use to have it, looks like a "not anymore" 😕 However Round Core Wicker Pith / Spline Cane For Rattan And Cane Furniture Repairs does seem to sell it. 

The only thing I have found is that you soak it overnight to make it pliable and then as it drys it will also pull things tighter. Habe yet to repair anything cane So its what ive read more then actual experience. If you manage to repair it I am sure the Bunnings community would love to hear how and see the steps you take as its a popular subject.
