I have a feeling that at $325 for the couch and a guess at another $300 ish for the redo you might be able to find something just as comfortable new. As to making it work in a Tiki room... absolutely! It is going to take some work and will really depend on the fabric choice combined with the colors of the room. If there is desire there is possibility.... and it is your room/lounge/house so make it yours. No matter what you decide, share pictures of the process of creation! Still, see if you can talk them down in price because you have the reupholster costs to add to the 'final' price.
