They might be on their website but i have not checked. they sell for about $65. they might look better with a colored light bulb in it or used it as a basis to build your own custom lamp by adding some bamboo or a thatch roof. how about it, tiki skip ?

It would look way better with the globe frosted and a amber light inside. Plus yes, you could add a hat or bamboo. Of all the "hey look what this store is sellin" posts on TC I would say this is one of the best. The only down side is the glass, I look for true color glass that is to say it's red, blue, green ect.. glass and not just a top coat or clear glass. sears credit card Top coats can come off. Still nice!

You can even add a puffer sears credit card fish inside the table lamp. It's a lot of work but the result is cool. That's a cool looking lamp with lots of protential sears credit card especially if TikiSkip gets a hold of one. Here's one I made. The ties on mine are not as cool as the one from Menards. _________________ Mahalo, TikiVato [ This Message was edited by: TikiVato 2014-02-07 22:25 ]

That's why I look for true color glass. And again lots of my lights don't sell for much more than this light, most cost less. If I buy this to sell that is not much money to be made after.
