Hi! Love this – thank you so much! I am going to buy the cane for this project. Question if you can provide extra details. Do you know which style # you used for the 1/2 plastic mesh:
PC901 1/2inch Open Mesh – 24inch Width; 7 Feet; 0 Inches OR W901P 1/2inch Open Mesh – Plastic – 18inch Width; 7 Feet; 0 Inches
Hello, I’m so glad I found this article. I’m looking to add caneing to my kitchen cabinets, down the center stile without actually removing it. Can you offer any advice on this project? There’s tons of material on caneing cabinets removing the center stile but your post is the only thing that comes even remotely close to what I’m going for. Ultimately I want to have my cabinets professionally painted but it’s going to be a while until we can afford it so I want to do the caneing in the meantime.
I love this idea. Do you think the cane webbing could be painted? I’ve just had cabinetry painted but still want to DIY the glass door fronts somehow and this looks much better than putting a film behind the glass. Would painting the cane make it more brittle and possibly break? Thank you for posting this article!
Hi, I love this project and have the same Billy bookcases. How has it held up? Did you need to reglue? I was also debating if I should apply the cane in two pieces because of the wood between the two panes of glass. Did that warp for you or did the cane stay tight over the two pieces?
Hi Karen! It has held up beautifully the last three years! Since I attached it to the frame only has one piece behind the glass, it laid perfectly flat and hasn’t moved. Also, the cane I selected was plastic so it’s thick and stiff. I hope that helps. Good luck!
Good morning, what a great DIY project, would you be able to tell me the name of the cabinet, the link only opens up the ikea website but there are so many cabinets on there I’d love to know which one you used. Thanks so much !

Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
I used the 24 inch and cut it in half long ways to fit both doors and save money. 🙂
Hello! Can you clarify where exactly you are applying the glue? Are you gluing the cane to the door trim, or directly to the glass? Thank you.
To the door trim!
do you soak the cane webbing first? I heard that it helps with softening it up and making it more manageable.
I didn’t need to since it lay flat easily but I’ve heard that as well. Maybe common for upholstery or curved furniture?

Oh! I’m sure you could. Probably spray for the best coverage. You may also be able to find it in white and black.

Hi Sarah, the cabinet I use is no longer made but any tall cabinet with glass doors would work!
