Had considered building a custom bar for a recently overhauled outdoor space, however this bar and stools were a MUCH BETTER choice.  Far more affordable, beautiful looking, great materials.  Allows for me to change and alter floorplan to accommodate different entertaining patterns.  Assembles quickly and easily.  Open shelf on one side only which is great.  Very sturdy.  Has look of very high end furniture ----- put price was so much better!  Buy this and save and then splurge on a custom kitchen island/grill or pizza oven.   Guarantee you will love it.   (Only wish it came in other colors too!)
