Would you or wouldn't you: Rattan

I may or may not have blogged about this site before, my apologies if I have!  However, driving down Dupont today I noticed a big sign on an antique store advertising a content reduction sale on YouBidLocal.com.  It is a great online auction site of local stuff - a fabulous mix of eBay and your local auction house.  Sadly this sale has since closed, but in perusing the current auctions, I found this set of rattan chairs - 4 of them - for a current bid of...$11.  Sure, it will go up before they are sold, but...just to contemplate that gives me the auction tingles.  How amazing would these look sprayed and cushioned? Like, say, these:

    maybe hold off to a nice pair of faux bamboo chairs! Ebay is great to get them ... the only trick is to get them from Florida to Canada!

    I love cane furniture and always want to collect new designs. Here I found a lot of new and aggressive designs and planning to get some of them at my home.

    Really nice! Love the idea of giving them a coat of glossy paint!

    I agree Amelia - and it seems like a low-commitment way to get some high-impact colour in a room.

    Too true Tim - and good advice. Sometimes it is worth waiting for the better uqality option, even if it costs a bit more. :)
