There is a furniture store in Plaza Nautica in Cabo San Lucas that deals exclusively in wicker and rattan. But, my oh my are they expensive!
Probably at least 50% more than you would pay in the States.
You might want to check out Tienda 17, a furniture consignment store in San Jose dC. I have seen some nice wicker and rattan there that is only
slightly used and at reasonable prices.
Happy hunting.

This is exacftly what I have been looking for. Where did you have it shipped to? I looked on their shipping fee sample page but didn't see any
destinations in Mexico listed. Also it mentions wholesale, do they sell retail (I don't have a resale ID) or are they a bit more casual about it.

we had to fill up 5 casitas so we bought ALOT!!!
the people at exbali are THE VERY BEST!!!
and to be trusted...
my buddy went to bali after our stuff was shipped and delivered and they invited him to their house...very nice people
they sell to EVERYONE not just bussinesses...
we shipped to Long Beach CA and imported the furniture to Mexico
shipping to Long Beach CA was $1000 cheaper than shipping to San Diego
they will also FEDEX in stuff but the fee is higher
the furniture is SO NICE you will not be dissapointed

You might try a nudist colony. If they have any wicker chairs, they may be ready to let them go cheap.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
