Well wish this furniture was on CL "all the time" up here so I could own some more of it.

Before everyone jumps the gun without an explanation and the real truth on whats
transpired.I just spoke with waterbaby aka Bonnie , and had a lengthy conversation
about this mess up.I have help on postings and pics for TC , and pictures were
posted before the couch was even purchased by mistake.In short my help was under
the impression this was already picked up and paid for and it was not.
Secondly I don't use other peoples pictures without their consent or owning
the furniture out right.Because my name is on this posting I will take 100%
responsibility for the posting error and pictures being posted with any type of
Miss representation or non validity.I can assure you this will never ever happen
again.I will personally do all my own posts and up linking of pics,and no assistance
from any outside people that work for or with me.Bonnie knows now this was not
intentional nor was it meant to be deceptive or defraud in anyway .I am a stand up
guy , and would never purposely or maliciously de fame or mis-represent someone
elses property for financial gain.This character assination I take very serious,
even if it is from some that joined TC a day ago.

Sofa king - if my so called stuff is so common, then by all means go and find it
on Craigs list,there are some real deals to be had in this economy.What you fail
to understand is many of the rattan you see for cheap on Craigs list have issues-
needs new cushions or new wraps,varnish work etc.The best rattan I have ever
found was not found on Craig's list or flea markets.By making a statement like
that you have shown your ignorance when it comes to the subject of vintage
rattan in general.I have been buying , selling, collecting, trading and restoring
vintage rattan for about 14 years, long before most( not all)of the people on
TC were buying rattan or tiki .If there are any more questions,concerns or
complaints - don't hesitate and PM me.
Thanks,
Bill LaPalia

If you had an issue Waterbaby maybe you should of contacted Bill directly to work out the problem--which doesn't look like that was what you did given your play by play of the details--and given him an opportunity to correct the error. THAT would of been believing in the "goodness of people" since Bill IS a stand-up guy and he has never misrepresented himself to anyone on here. Seem like that would of been the simplest way to solve the problem esp. since he was so quick to remove the photos in the first place.

All this drama aside still loving the furniture on this thread. Keep an eye out for one of those rattan shelf rounders for me if one pops up around ya, Bill.

Bonnie -Please air your dirty laundry some where else for Christ sake.
Who are you the TC police .If you have issues - PM me .People on TC are
positive outgoing fun people and really don't want to hear any more of
your gripes.Get over it and move on .Life is to short.Maybe you missed
your calling to be a private investigator .As far as I am concerned you
screwed your self, because if you weren't so pre judge mental and leave
derogatory remarks towards me I would have bought all your rattan.
Good luck trying to sell your rattan on TC now , no one will want to
deal with you.You have no Aloha spirit or even know what it means .

Gee, you're just overflowing with aloha...

And reading back over Waterbaby's posts, I see nothing derogatory.

I kid, I kid.

Relax, I’m just joking with you a little bit. I didn’t mean to come off so poopy. I apologize if I did.

By no means is the furniture on this thread (or any other of your rattan pieces) common, run of the mill or poor quality.

While remote, my post was in reference to a comment you made on another thread a while back.

http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=31860&forum=12&8

In no way was I trying to foul-up your endeavors. I apologize if ANYONE interpreted it that way.

To all: in no way was my intent to disrespect 1961surf or any of his vintage pieces he makes available to the community.

Best of luck to you 1961surf and Waterbaby in your future dealings (again, JOKING guys… :D )

Can't we all just get along?

Cheers,
SF

Vintage 1950's Mid Century Modern rattan table lamp in near mint condition .Nice golden patina on all the rattan , wraps are all original and in xlnt shape.Looks like Nara or oak wood base with original barrel shade .Lamp is 43" tall from base to top of shade. Base is approx 3 " thick.This is an absolute great find , and whoever buys it will be glad they did.This fine example would make a fine addition to your Mid Century Modern , tiki or vintage rattan ,or Hawaiiana room.I can not believe just how good of condition this lamp is in for it's 50 plus years old .Obviously from a smoke and dust free home that's for sure .More pics available upon request .Because of the size of lamp , the base and shade will have to be shipped in two separate boxes to ensure it's safety...thus a little more $$ to ship !
$495 reduced to $ 425.

Beautiful all original hawaiiana rattan table lamp, with it's original shade.Very rarely do you ever find these lamps with thier original shades ...this one is in great shape with just minor creasing on the inside that is not visable .Even the salmon colored chenille trim around the edge of the shade is in good shape.Lamp is 24 " tall the shade is 15 " wide .Solid oak base .I rewired the lamp with all UL approved wiring and new socket .The wrapping is all intact and perfect.The patina on the rattan wood is prestine with a nice golden hue.Lamp was obviously well taken care of for it's 55 + years of age.


$275 plus shipping
