YEAH....so glad you are going to stain and pair with your first bar...that dark stain looks classy!!!

My bar is a 60's number in a yellow oak finish...when I bought a cabinet to use as the backbar, I had my handyman stain it a little darker to match...I think it turned out OK, it works for me. That storage unit you have looks pretty big...you may have to add stabilization framing to the back, as I think you will be able to store a hoard of alcohol bottles and mixers on there. Can hardly wait to see it.

Well, I did use the same stain. But it was applied outside and not next to the bar. I did NOT even notice the wicker was almost black until I got the two together and finished the pics. In Photoshop it was obvious that they're pretty different. Still, I like 'em.

Anyway this is just a photo op for them, the booze is still downstairs (where I can safely imbibe and not traverse the declines) so the artifacts are some of the easy-to-access pieces from boxes (after the quake) and not the rum 'n' mugs that should be behind a bar.

I recall poor Ben leaning on the wall going down the stairs. I'll have to remedy that problem somehow...
