Hi--I stumbled on this site..and WOW!!! how great. I have had my place "Tiki Style" for over 10 years..complete with straw matting on my walls. A few years a go, I was fortunate enough to find an entire vintage rattan set...3 sectional couch, 2 side tables, round coffee table, chair and ottoman....my neighbor was selling them in his front yard...I said how much? He said...well, I'll take whatever you offer...sorta half way kidding...I said...$100.00. He said..well...$120.00! And off I went with this unbelievable set! It has 11 bands on the bottom and 5 on the arm. I did have to get cushions made and new glass...but....that's it! I have now decided to make my couch into a sectional that goes on one wall and then the other wall...and would love one extra middle piece--to make it longer. Does anyone have any ideas..on how I would acquire just one couch section with no arms. Right now, I'm trying to make it work with my ottoman...but, I'd like to do it right. Thanks! P.S....sorry, if I was wrong to start a new post...I just don't know how message boards work. I've never really done it before :) [ Edited by: hulastyle 2008-01-21 19:33 ] |
