OK, I am a man and I hate following directions, but these directions are essential to follow if you're going to get the bar set up properly.  Looks nice and I even painted the lower part to match the woodwork in the room where it is installed.  I was even able to fit a slim fridge and icemaker under/behind it, out of sight.  The wine rack shelf is my only criticism: it's hard to figure out and even as I write this, it's not right.  I've just learned to live with it.  Good value for the price and makes a great addition to my master bedroom.
