Steps:

1. Remove and save rattan from broken sections.

2. Remove old nails from the sections that have separated. Pliers may be helpful for nails that are hard to reach with the claw of a hammer.

3. Glue the split wood pieces together, clamp, and let them dry.

4. Nail the thin decorative wood pieces to the larger sections of the frame.

5. Screw the circular base and upper to the vertical supports that have become disconnected.

6. Screw together two ends of the circular part of the frame. Align the screw to be perpendicular to the seam where the two ends connect.

7. Nail down one side of the rattan and re-wrap it. Finish by nailing down the other end of the rattan to secure it.
