I absolutely, positively LOVE this bar rail! It added the perfect finishing touch to my bar. Exactly what I had in mind. It was very easy to work with, and that is coming from someone who has 0 experience constructing anything at all!!! I was petrified of the corners, and made a few mistakes, but Paul was only a phone call away, and was a tremendous help!! I would recommend this rail and this company to anyone!!

I purchased the kit and the railing from Hardwoods. When the pieces all delivered it was a little overwhelming as I’m not the handiest guy in the world. With the literature, labeling and Paul’s detailed explanation it became very easy to figure out. We are so happy with our bar quality and the experience. Definitely take the time to thoroughly research staining and poly combinations to compliment the quality.
