The stain is much lighter than shown online. The entire bottom section looks like it was not stained at all. I will, unfortunately, have to sand and restain the entire piece myself as it does not match at all.

The barrel inspired spirits wall bar arrived with chipped and broken wood where screws hold it together. It hangs via a French cleat, but there is no lower support, so it tilts forward. The lock has to be used to hold the doors shut due to this tilt. One of the hinges is missing screws. Poorly constructed. While it looks great from far, it is far from good. For almost $800, I would expect much better quality. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

I am not going to lie, the price almost stopped us from buying it, but it was the perfect size and such a statement piece, we went for it. It was clearly just made (from the smell of the wood and varnish) - very substantial and well made. But SOOOO easy to hang. It literally took 15 minutes to hang. We did go ahead and add some support nails, just because we wanted it to be super secure. My husband loves his LED lights, so we added those too, instead of using the battery can lights that came with it. LOVE my new bar area. LOVE this piece.

I love the look of this wall bar, and works perfectly in my space. There are some quality issues and if there were competing products I might have returned. To start, there were no instructions in the box. The cabinet has a brace that is installed on the wall onto studs and then you hang the cabinet on the brace. Well, I think that’s the case, and it works, but there were no instructions, so. The only problem is you can still slide the cabinet back and forth on the brace and if someone pushed up from the bottom the cabinet could come off the brace and hurt someone. So I decided to drive a couple screwed through the cabinet and brace to prevent this. Again, no instructions or screws in the bag, so winging it. Then the shelf below the unit wasn’t very sturdy. I decided to take it apart to see what was up. Turns out they use something similar to a rack mount slider for the shelf but they didn’t put enough screws in the slider so it would rock up and down. I added some screws and not the shelf is pretty solid. So it looks nice, and with a little work you can improve on the flaws. I want to replace the puck lights they supplied with some strip lights. I feel like for the price this unit should have been higher quality. Hopefully the manufacturer can work on it to ship a product worthy of the price point.
