Well here it is as promised. Still not in my possession as I'm feverishly trying to find a mover for it.
I know it isn't really "Tiki" but I think it is an amazing piece of furniture and can't wait to get it into the house but that will have to wait as the sliding glass doors will have to come off first. It will live in the garage for now.

It is 8 ft long. In the back are two cabinets, a wine rack, open shelf, pull out cutting board and two drawers which also have carvings. It's a monster of a bar. The bar itself is in great shape but the chairs need some restoration. There are 4 chairs and a bar stool.

edited to add how I found this. As my friend and I left Brad and Melanie's house we saw a yard sale sign just a few blocks away. In the garage were two of the chairs. I was admiring them when the owner asked if I wanted to see the bar. I reluctantly said yes. She took us through the very neglected backyard to the sunroom. She explained that her father brought it back from the Philippines in 1971 when he got out of the service along with a bunch of other furniture.
She had it on Craigslist but only had a couple of interested parties who could not make the arrangements to transport it. She got scared off by some creepy people who had contacted her so she pulled the ad and decided to try to sell it at the yard sale.

This is going to totally change the direction of my eventual Tiki room.
