There was one in Target in Waukesha that had Tequilatom's eye. (it was even in a tone that matched his peanut butter collection. )
Yep, as a Target employee I can tell you we have a pretty sweet bamboo tiki bar. $199 I believe, and well worth the money.

I havent seen any returns on them, so it seems like a good buy.

Imagine what that would look like with some parrothead decorations!

that is not what Tom was drooling over. He liked the big ol' lanai

They will hit clearance towards mid-end of the summer if they arent selling...which it doesnt look like they are, at least at my store. My backroom is filled with them. That whole seasonal section will be changed to "Back To School" very soon, so keep an eye out. When they go on clearance I am buying one too...

I havent been into work yet today but a coworker told me that yesterday all the tiki collections were recalled and pulled from the floor. I'll let you know what I find out today.

Nonetheless, I'm glad your Tiki Bar fiasco worked out for you! PHINS UP!!

When I went to Sam’s to get my grill canopy I saw the Tiki bar sitting there. I checked it out for a while trying to decide where I would put it, but decided to pass (for now). I would have been none to happy to find a bunch of mold growing on it when I opened the box though considering the price tag.

On a side note I saw the $299.99 blender on the Margaretville website and had fleeting thoughts of grabbing one, but my stainless steel oyster does a great job making my Margarita's so I decided against that as well.

I really like West Systems Marine Epoxy for stuff like this. It's a bit more expensive, but it is indestructable, and leaves a beautiful finish if done properly. I've restored several antique wooden ski boats, and this stuff is THE stuff to use.

I just got the Target tiki bar a couple of weeks back. *Heavy* sucker. I got it after they dropped the price from $269 to $199. Assembly was fairly easy. The roof top piece was split - bamboo does that. I ordered a replacement from the 866 number, but haven't seen it yet.

I'm already getting some splitting in a couple of the bigger bamboo pieces. Bamboo does this, so I'm not upset, but I'm not sure how many years this is gonna last. (*shrug*) I suppose for two hundred bucks, I'll survive if I have to replace it in a couple of years.

I do intend to weatherproof it somewhat, with a couple of coats of whatever weather sealer looks best. I'll gladly listen to suggestions for a good one.

I'm definitely looking forward to accessorizing, and to partying with it.

Don't quote me on this, my dad who actually constucts them, is one who would know better.

the little one i think is about 3,000. built in speakers, custom paint job, you name it we can do it.

Heck if we could sell one down in flordia, Im sure my dad would even hand deliver it! (well truck deliver it.)

Out of season, or did they find something wrong with them?

Cool, a moldy tiki bar.
You could make "Moldy Tequila Sunrises"
or "Mold-a-ritas"
or "Moldy Marys"
or "Cosmoldpolitans"
or "Moldy Navels"
or "Moldhitos"
or "Mold on the Beach"
or "Penicillin Punch"
or "Singaspore Slings"
or "Penicillin Colada"

I'll pause now.

Or a "Sporedriver"
or "Moldtini"
or "Moldslide"
