I was watching T.V. late one night when I stumbled across a show on Elvis...you know where I'm going with this right? Yep the Jungle Room furniture. I was surprised because all my life my parents have had this weird dragon head furniture, it was only when they were showing the pictures of the Jungle Room that I realized IT'S THE SAME FURNITURE! Not sure what that says that my father has the same taste as Elvis...anyway when he brought it home my mother hit the roof said it was the ugliest furniture she had ever seen get it out of the house. After many long and sleepless nights of fighting over the furniture they came to an agreement. #1 He could keep the furniture in his private den where it could not be seen by the neighbors who came to visit and #2 there was no way it was staying in the den private or not without be reupholstered period. If you flip the sofa up you can even still see some of the original striped faux fur it originally came with. Now decades later my parents are downsizing homes and the furniture needs to go someplace. Does anyone have any suggestions on where would be the best place to get rid of this? I suggested E bay but I don't know if that is the kind of thing that sells on there and then how in the world would you even ship that? Any help anyone has would be great thanks! Shipping is a problem. You could list it on Ebay or Craigslist as "pickup only." You could also list it in the Tiki Marketplace part of Tiki Central. Hopefully you live near some Witco collectors. Where DO you live?
