IT COMES WITH THE FOOT STOOLS, THE LITTLE CONVERSATION TABLE, AND WE’VE ALSO ADDED JUST SOME PLANTERS AND LIKE AN AREA RUG IF YOU WANT TO SPRUCE UP THAT AREA. OH, THE NICE THING ABOUT THE AREA RUGS, THESE ARE SORT OF INDOOR OUTDOOR. THIS IS GOING TO YOU KNOW, IF IT RAINS, IT’S THE WATER IS GOING TO DRAIN RIGHT OFF OF THEM. ABSOLUTELY. AND THEN YOU CAN JUST WRAP IT RIGHT ON UP AND THEN STORE IT AND THEN BRING IT BACK OUT NEXT YEAR. OR IF YOU HAVE WANT TO USE IT ON THE INSIDE, YOU CAN DO THAT AS WELL. AND JUST HAVING THE TABLE SOMETIMES REALLY ISN’T ENOUGH. YOU WANT TO HAVE SORT OF THE AMBIANCE FOR OUTSIDE AND YOUR PINEAPPLE LIGHTS LOOK SO GREAT. THEY’RE BATTERY OPERATED SO GREAT FOR DAYTIME, BUT AT NIGHT YOU TURN IT ON AND IT GIVES IT JUST THAT LITTLE BIT OF A KICK. YEAH. MORE OF A LIKE THAT COMFORTABLE LIGHTING. IT’S NOT TOO BRIGHT.

SO IF YOU WANT TO, YOU KNOW, DO IT BIG AND YOU’RE HAVING A BIG BARBECUE AND YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, THEN YOU CAN JUST USE YOUR TIKI TORCHES. SO YOU TALKING ABOUT TIKI TORCHES? AND THAT MAKES ME THINK OF LIKE HAWAII. AND I FEEL LIKE THIS HAS A LITTLE MORE POLYNESIAN SETUP RIGHT OVER HERE, YOU KNOW, SORT OF THE SORT OF THE DARKER RATTAN WHICH IS NICE. YEAH.
