Tiki ship I believe its sold for $500.00 w/ bar stools .This bar was substantial and
weighed several hundred pounds .Would require at least four to five people to lift
it and at least three to four piano dollies to move it , with an electric lift gate
flat bed truck for sure. I figured that out within five minutes of looking at the
bar .The pictures don't really show how much work is needed to make this bar right.
Probably one of the biggest rattan bars I have come across .The owner told me there
were four bars made identical over 25 years ago and they were made by the same man
and they were to go to Las Vegas.Which means the other three bars could have gone
possibly to the Sahara, the Sands or who knows where.So some where out there there
are three other bars like this one.This particular bar ended up being an extra one
that was never shipped out to Las Vegas and this guy had bought it.It has been in
Riverside, Cal. for the last twenty something years until recently .
