The bar is exactly as pictured. I put it together myself and didn't have too much of a problem. It can be a little awkward at some points because of the hinged pieces swinging around, so be careful that it doesn't smash a finger. I don't think it can support too much weight, but it is pretty sturdy.

This thing is a pain to put together, but its a real show stopper when entertaining. Its the perfect height and there is lots of storage for glassware and bar tools. Well worth the money

This home bar is a great value. My friends saw the bar and could not believe the price I paid. The color is great, it looks very rich. I love the bottle storage and the wine glass rack.

The only problem I ran into was that the directions did not say mention until the end that there is a drawer stopper. The directions were very clear, but did not say which way the piece that the stopper is attached to is supposed to face. Now my drawer does not have a stopper to keep it from being pulled out all the way, not a huge deal... it would have just been too much work to take everything apart to fix the problem.

It sure does not look as nice as pictured. Wood looks a little cheap. And .. It is a little flimsy. I did not have any scratches on mine and it was pretty well packed. However, one of the pieces had the pre-drilled holes in the wrong place. The replacement I received from amazon did not have the same problem but and worked great.
I bought mine with the intention of using two sections instead of 3 due to space limitations. Upon taking one section off, you can't really tell it was designed to have 3 sections! Looking at other alternatives I think this is a great value considering that Lowes quoted me $1700 + tax + the price of the counter top to get the same design in a custom cabinet!
Great service from Amazon.

I researched bars for two months before I settled on this one. I am really happy with it. It took me only 2 hours to assemble it. It looks very nice in my playroom. I highly recommend this product.

Recieved this item on time and put it together for a christmas gift for a family member. Got to the last piece, the drawer and found out the "pre-drilled" holes we completely off and the drawer will never close completely. I am in the process of trying to take it back apart and return it for a exchange. It is a nice unit, if it came correct. Also to note it does not open and close well on any type os carpeting. WE have a short berber carpet and it gets stuck everytime we open the sides.

This bar was very easy to assemble. Mostly it was assembled already; only the top and inserts like the drawer needed work. The wood is rich, shiny and warm looking. This bar is much nice than is pictured here, and for the $200+ I paid for it, even better!; a very good deal.

If you want to have a bar occasionally but not as a center piece for a room, this one works nicely. It has very short screws holding together the fold-up panels so you need 2 people to move it or they will pull out. It is attractive , functional and small enough to put it away after the party. I would recommend it.

I SO should have listened to the other reviews before buying. But of course, hoped that nothing wrong would happen. The item itself is beautiful, the quality of wood is very good. It arrived timely. However, one of the central pieces is completely wrong, with half holes in the wrong places. It does not match anything; it looks like whoever was drilling them was on crack or something. Now my husband's birthday is coming, and here we are without a bar, with a huge bulky thing just sitting in our basement blocking everything, and we look ahead to a major headache of talking to customer service, waiting for the right (hopefully!) part and re-assembling. Great! I don't understand why with so many customers reporting the same problem, the company did not improve quality control. BAD business.

I never ended up receiving my bar; which I must tell you I was ecstatic about receiving! Beautiful piece of furniture, but; I ended up making a purchase at World Market as I was in desperate need of the unit. I like what I ended up with, but I'm sure this piece would have been more suitable for a city apartment. Too bad...
