I recently acquired these two pretzel rattan frames. One is a 3-cushion and the other is a 2-cushion. The best part is I paid absolutely NOTHING for them - Zip, Zero, Nada!

Unfortunately, they are in sad shape. I've never tackled a rattan restoration before so I looked up some old threads on TC to get me started. As of this writing, my only expense has been an $18 bottle of Citristrip.

I started this thread to post pics of the progress of this set. Hopefully, I won't get too frustrated and junk 'em. Wish me luck....

The 3-cushion is in rough shape --

I just finished removing all the binding on the 3-cushion and it broke off easily as it was really brittle.

More pics to come as this project progresses....
