The materials are top notch. Customer service, is even better. I was scrolling on the internet for bar rails and this site kept popping up wherever I went. So I gave them a call. Got a voicemail. I didn’t leave a message. But almost immediately I got a call back from Paul M. on my cell. Had a nice conversation explained what hey had to offer, I went online the next day and got 16 feet of rail and radius corner. Built the sub top and final top to the specs provided with the documentation and watched the videos. The only problem (if its really a problem) was that I had a hard time keeping my friends, who were helping me, on track because they wanted to use the bar as soon as the top was laid. Pro tip – don’t let your friends use the bar for 2 hours before making the cuts on the corner! We prevailed and eventually got it perfect and the rail and corner just makes the bar that much more comfortable. Just wish we were as efficient as the guys in the video, but I suspect that wasn’t their first. Hardwoods Inc. is highly recommended. I am glad we decided to buy from them instead of a home center place.
