It’s been freezing here lately (Sorry, I know I really shouldn’t complain, Buffalonians!), which has me dreaming about warm-weather destinations. These Key West stools are definitely tickling my fancy right now…
Set of three rattan bar stools:
Asking: $270
Condition: “Like new.”
Dimensions: 42″ high x 21″ wide x 21″ deep; seat = 31″ high
Location: Gainsville, VA
Thoughts: I love these the way they are, but they would look nice with a glossy paint job too, if that’s your preference.
Intrigued by this ikat rattan sofa:
Asking: $479
Condition: Not described.
Dimensions: 72″ long
Location: Alexandria, VA
Thoughts: I love this for a sunroom.
Check it out. No longer available.
There are a plethora of materials to bring into your home through decorating–various hard woods, upholstery fabric, leather, brass, chrome, lucite, lacquer, etc–and they all have the potential to be wonderful. But bamboo and rattan do something special for me. They’re relaxed and cheerful and unpretentious and so gosh darn friendly, aren’t they? Sure, they can go grandma pretty easily, but even then, they’re friendly, sweet grandma not stern, scary grandma. Here are some very friendly looking pieces that I’ve seen on CL lately:
Bamboo tables:
Asking: $220 (includes a glass top for the larger table)
Condition: “Excellent”
Dimensions: The larger table is 22″ wide, 25″ tall with a 30″ diameter glass top; the pedestal tables are supposedly 15″ by 15″ but either that’s a mistake or the picture is distorted, because they definitely don’t appear to be as wide as they are tall…
Location: Arlington, VA
Thoughts: I wish the pedestal tables were larger and would work as nightstands in my friend’s daughter’s room, because I think they’d be perfect with a little turquoise spray paint. They’re a good size to use next to an accent chair, though, to hold a coaster and a drink.

Bamboo bistro chairs:
Asking: $20 each (there are 8 available) Raised to $25 each (with 4 available) but I suspect there’s some negotiating room there
Condition: “Excellent, like new condition”
Dimensions: Not provided
Location: MD
Thoughts: These chairs feel both friendly and well-traveled to me–like they’d have spectacular stories about trips to Paris and African safaris. (I should probably stop personifying furniture so much…) See some inspiration photos on this post from a while back.

Rattan stools:
Asking: $100 for a pair (will only sell in pairs) Raised (?!) to $150 Reduced to $100 for the set (someone buy these please!)
Condition: “In wonderful shape”
Dimensions: Seat height: 28″; total height: 37″; seat diameter: 16″
Location: Falls Church, VA
Thoughts: These are my favorite! I wish I had a bar so I had an excuse to get them.
Check it out. No longer available.
Because of the bistro chairs snafu, here’s one more:
Faux bamboo etagere:
Asking: $40
Condition: “Some stains on the bottom shelf from slight rusting but otherwise is in good condition”
Dimensions: Not provided
Location: Manassas, VA
Thoughts: A fresh coat of paint, and it’s good as new.
Check it out. No longer available.
