Sofa Sets, chairs, dining/conference table, laundry baskets, etc, are many forms of intricately woven cane & bamboo products that can handle extensive usage without getting damaged. The manufacturing process of cane furniture starts with the preparation of the requisite number of bamboo slips. Canes of various diameters are also reduced into slips of various sizes according to adaptability. The artisans then prepare a rough structure of the furniture by joining the different bamboo parts.  In the case of round-cane furniture, thin iron rods are used to bend the round cane to the required shape. The actual weaving or coiling of the structure so made is done with fine slips of flexible cane. Cane & Bamboo is one of the main sources of income for Chakma, Dimasa, Nagas, Mizos, Khasi, Garo, Jaintias, Riyang Apatani, tribes from Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Arunachal & Tripura.
