Before everyone jumps the gun without an explanation and the real truth on whats
transpired.I just spoke with waterbaby aka Bonnie , and had a lengthy conversation
about this mess up.I have help on postings and pics for TC , and pictures were
posted before the couch was even purchased by mistake.In short my help was under
the impression this was already picked up and paid for and it was not.
Secondly I don't use other peoples pictures without their consent or owning
the furniture out right.Because my name is on this posting I will take 100%
responsibility for the posting error and pictures being posted with any type of
Miss representation or non validity.I can assure you this will never ever happen
again.I will personally do all my own posts and up linking of pics,and no assistance
from any outside people that work for or with me.Bonnie knows now this was not
intentional nor was it meant to be deceptive or defraud in anyway .I am a stand up
guy , and would never purposely or maliciously de fame or mis-represent someone
elses property for financial gain.This character assination I take very serious,
even if it is from some that joined TC a day ago.

Sofa king - if my so called stuff is so common, then by all means go and find it
on Craigs list,there are some real deals to be had in this economy.What you fail
to understand is many of the rattan you see for cheap on Craigs list have issues-
needs new cushions or new wraps,varnish work etc.The best rattan I have ever
found was not found on Craig's list or flea markets.By making a statement like
that you have shown your ignorance when it comes to the subject of vintage
rattan in general.I have been buying , selling, collecting, trading and restoring
vintage rattan for about 14 years, long before most( not all)of the people on
TC were buying rattan or tiki .If there are any more questions,concerns or
complaints - don't hesitate and PM me.
Thanks,
Bill LaPalia
