Great Mini Bar!
This bar is perfect. It is not too big or extravagant, but has all of the necessary elements for a great bar. I live in an apartment and so the size is perfect. The color is great. I was concerned because in some pictures it looks turquoise and in others in looks like a bland blue. It is definitely turquoise!

So Much Better Than I Imagined
This piece provides a lot of good storage space without looking clunky. I expected to have to get additional shelving to accommodate our glassware and liquor which was previously on a large bookshelf, but it all fit with room to spare, and comes off looking a bit smaller!
I love the finish - it is super-shiny, and the color has much more depth than the photo suggests (a little more turquoise and less bright than pictured).
It took about as long as we expected to put it together - a couple of hours. It took some unexpected time to air out, though. The packaged plastic-y smell from the finish is pervasive at first. I would not plan on putting your bar ware in it until it can air out (doors and drawer open preferably) for a good 24 hours.
That the two boxes were shipped from different companies surprised me, but didn't bother me, as they arrived very close together.

Adorable and functional
I ordered this to replace a stand alone wine rack. Gone is that rickety wine rack and in its place: this shiny, gleaming gem with plenty of space for wine, glasses and decanters.
The blue on my computer screen was a little brighter than the actual cabinet. It's a bit more subdued than I expected, but still very pretty.
Yes, it was a challenge to put it together, but well worth it. My husband ruined the cabinet doors by using the wrong screws, and CB2 sent us new doors in a couple of days at NO CHARGE. Super customer service!
Thank you to CB2 for your service, and for a very nice product!

Good product but color not as advertised
Really like this mini bar — was even able to assemble it myself, save for the doors. However the photo online is rather misleading. It's got a darker, more turquoise tone than the pool blue posted.

Good Purchase, But Too Much Work
I love this minibar, but it was way too much work to assemble. For the price, it should come at least partially assembled already. The instructions were mostly easy to follow, but it took me about 2 hours to put this together by myself. And there were an awful lot of piece involved. It looks great now and I do love it, but it is pretty pricey for all of the work involved.

I Love It!
It took two (technically challenged) adults approximately two hours to assemble this bad boy. It looks great and wasn't as bad to put together as I thought it would be. It is a great size and the finish is beautiful. As a side note, I did think it was kind of ridiculous of CB2 to ship this in two boxes via two different carriers. I ended up with one box last Friday and the other box today. Ugh. But, other than that, this looks like it will hold up well and fits in nicely with my living room decor. Would recommend!
