First congrats on your find. It's massive! Just a note for clarity, that is not bamboo but rattan. A very common confusion. Bamboo is rigid and harder to use for such things as furniture whereas rattan when harvested is more able to conform to bending and is solid unlike bamboo with a hollow core.
I guess there is not a thread with other rattan aquariums shown together but I know there have been others posted so I rounded a few of them up. First are the 2 I have found at yard sales here in the Kansas City area:

Here's a few more I found in other threads. You should also check out the "Show off your rattan" thread. COOL STUFF there!

From what I have heard from former owners of these aquariums you could get them made custom made to whatever size or height you wanted. Mostly made in the Phillipines I think.
