I was looking for a bar but didn't want to spend a whole lot of money nor did I want to take up too much space, this worked perfectly. The cabinet looks wonderful in my living room and the sliding top truly makes it functional for entertaining. I put it together myself with not too much trouble, however plan on using a drill as the cam bolt holes in the base are not drilled deep enough. A little frustrating but easily remedied. This cabinet really does look like the picture, a quality piece of furniture. The description states it is made of solid wood and veneers but don't let the word veneer fool you. This is a solid piece of furniture and I couldn't be happier with the quality.
