Benson’s Tropical Sea Imports

This is an a great company to buy from. When I opened my first salon in 2002, they shipped to me in Ohio, and have not stopped yet… They are very accommodating.

This place saved us from ordering all of the bamboo we needed online and paying for shipping! It is a little store front in an industrial park with a HUGE warehouse space full of awesome bamboo furniture, art, everything you could possible need for safari, Hawaiian, or tiki motif! I got enough bamboo to do my whole office lobby, picture frames, chair rails, plant potters etc. for $ 50.00!!! The guys were so nice and so helpful, getting 10 – 6′ bamboo poles into my Volvo with 3 of us girls wasn’t easy. They are super friendly, good business practices, convenient, and reasonable!

This place is definitely a tiki mecca. If you’ve been to Oceanic Arts in Whittier, this is kind of like the orange county version of that. When we first arrived, I wasn’t so sure as to what to expect. We rang the buzzer and it took someone a while to answer, but I’m glad we waited. The lady running the office greeted us and then directed us into a gigantic warehouse filled with tropical décor and tiki items. Nothing had prices, but when I inquired about a couple of items I was pleasantly surprised that almost everything in this place was priced either super reasonably or at rock bottom prices. If you’re into tiki, tropical or arrrrg, pirate décor this is a place to check out. Don’t get me started on the whole middle aged pirate thing, I don’t get it, but I guess to each his own, sort of, never mind I’m not going to say it, I don’t want to arrrrrrgue.
