Can Cherner Chair repair or restore my vintage chairs made by Plycraft?

Cherner Chair can not repair or restore vintage chairs manufactured by the Plycraft Company from the 1950's through the 1980's. While our designs are true to Norman Cherner's original specifications, we use modern fasteners and manufacturing techniques which make our parts incompatible with vintage chairs.

I have what I think are vintage Norman Cherner designed chairs made by Plycraft. Can you tell me what they are worth?

Cherner Chair can not offer you an appraisal on the value of your vintage chairs. We recommend finding an appraiser of American furniture and decorative arts in your area through the Appraisers Association of America.

How can I get chairs manufactured by the Cherner Chair Company repaired?

If you have a problem with one of our products purchased from one of our authorized retailers, we request that you contact them first before contacting us.
