A rattan bar cart is an excellent investment in the sense that you can keep it outdoors for seasonal celebrations and roll it indoors in inclement weather. Plus, its retro-tropical silhouette is guaranteed to promote the use of colored cocktail parasols, hollow pineapples, and vintage “Welcome to Paradise” shot glasses.
