This is good for history's sake.

Item specifics
Seller Notes:
“This item is in incredible condition for a vintage piece. It was stored in a climate controlled room for it's entire existence. I am amazed at the level of quality the tiles, the rattan poles and ties, and the tiki poles are in - being that this was salvaged from a Tropical Climate. This is the ultimate Tiki Polynesian Pop Collectors Item. It doesn't get better than this in terms of used. It's a museum quality piece from Mai-Kai, a Nationally Registered Historic site. They are no longer allowed to change any piece of the Mai-Kai's structure following it's induction into the National Registry of Historic Places. We used an all natural mild cleaner to rid the item of natural dust build up. You can finish it to taste with a sealant or wood oil, however it is naturally a 10/10 ! It is the Holy Grail of Tiki Memorabilia. Bid to Win!”
