leleliz, I've been looking for a set like this for some time too. I got lucky this time. I just happened to find this set for a very reasonable price, get my tax return, and convince my roommate to let me take his enormous sectional and table out of our living room. I can't stress enough to look up bamboo furniture on craiglist, as well as rattan obviously, because the uneducated (nontikiphiles) can't seem to tell the difference, which also seems to drop the price! I just need one more matching chair, and my living room set should be complete.

Nice set Kahala, LOVE the cushions! Are they original?
Let's see some more pics of the bar area too.
Aloha,

I believe the interior part of the cushions are correct, but the barkcloth is probably a newer addition. The cushions weigh a ton because they are sprung, as opposed to being just a nice thick foam. I too love the top of the cushions (all in great shape by the way, minus a little needed cleaning), but the sides are covered with a lavender colored upholstery fabric. I don't know what it's made of, but it's definitely not barkcloth. And for full disclosure, they're pretty damn uncomfortable, but I still love them!

If you want to see my bar in all it's glory, it has already got it's own thread over in Creating Tiki. Just search Apartment Bar...you'll find it.
