The item is working out great for what we needed it for (not a bar) a Welcome and Information Center at church. We only had one issue - one of the side pieces would not fit together properly so we had to request another piece. It was a fairly simple process to do but it would have been nice if mfg. would have responded to let me know they received my request for the new part. It took about a week or so and then I received a new piece. It is a very nice looking piece of furniture at a very reasonable cost.
