The bar rail and bar top kit are great and the instructions are easy to follow and do. I’m not much of a finish carpenter but it came out great. When Paul says he is available to help at any time he really means it, he called back very quickly both times I had a question that was holding me up. Gr…

Hi Paul:
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Chicago bar rail and trim arrived promptly, in perfect condition and were of top quality.
Used the radius corner instead of a miter for this bar. I’m a little touched in the head as far as making my projects next to perfect. No problems what so ever with this product. Paul was on the money as far as total measurement with the radius.

Hello,
I wanted to write and thank you for your excellent product and help with ordering.
We selected the BR550 “Chicago Style” bar edge in oak. Your advice on going with the pre cut/jointed pieces to allow delivery by UPS was perfect. You can not spot the seam as you said once installed and s…
I just received my six foot oak bar rail today and I’m very pleased. The packaging was outstanding. This piece is the perfect addition to the bar and something I couldn’t make myself. Great Quality!!!

I wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for the video on the bar top. I followed it and love the results of My bar and rails. I could not of been explained any better. Thank You!
I’ve finally gotten around to taking pictures of our beautiful bar top. The walnut bar top is stunning! It was so easy to put together with each piece labeled, and the walnut is so beautiful. We finished it with several coats of Waterlox and couldn’t be happier with the end result. We receive co…

Purchased the radius corner railing. We needed it in birch, that was no problem. It arrived on time and fit great, matched the straight pieces perfect.

Absolutely beautiful product that came ready to assemble.
However, what was more important to me, as a DYI weekend warrior, was the outstanding customer service on the back end that Paul and his team provided. From the time he spent on the phone to the excellent documentation that came with the bar kit and YouTube videos. They made my first bar a breeze.
I can not recommend this company or their products enough. Great people and product.
