I found an entire suite of Frankl rattan at a thrift store last summer for $300. The original vinyl pads were in great shape but the rattan was a bit thrashed because someone had used it outside at the beach. I was able to just quickly sand it with a scotchbrite 0 grit and paint on one coat of the minwax. It looks great, perfect in our backyard tiki bar area. Thanks again!
