This design looks like a copy of a much more expensive home bar that is sold in the British store [...] - you can find pictures on line. The apparent differences are that the [...] table also comes with an extra surface with Texas Hold 'Em and Bacarrat, appears to be made out of solid wood planks, has a professional-caliber wood roulette wheel, and is about 3-4 times the cost of this one.You have to assemble this product in the same fashion that you would assemble furniture from IKEA. It is particle board with a nice-looking veneer of either oak or cherry. (Mine is oak). Once assembled, the bar is quite heavy. I attempted to slide it across the carpet to move it and the particle board splintered where there was a screw lock in one of the shelf walls. This is not atypical of IKEA-type particle board furniture. That said, the bar looks more expensive than the [$] price tag you paid for it. The removable top is pretty heavy and has the felt blackjack table top on the reverse side. The wording on the felt is heat-transferred or painted on and looks like it may rub off with alot of cards sliding on it, but it should hold up for a fair amount of time. The roulette wheel is 16" and made of black plastic, but it is adequate for the purpose.One oddity that can be corrected on your own. Note the configuration in the picture of the wine rack-- the rack is at the bottom of the bar, thus leaving alot of open, wasted storage space immediately about it. My bar was configured this way as well. It seems you would be able to put a shelf above the wine rack or just drill holes and move the wine rack higher.I would not pay more for this item than [$], but it is a very nice item at that price."..."
