JonPez,
You might think about putting "risers" in your bar so you can get at stuff in the back easier. it looks like the top shelf is tall enough. Put a 4 inch shelf in there and then you can see what's in the back. Might help.
Just so you know, the bent bamboo part is rattan. Bamboo doesn't much bend, but you can soak rattan in water and bend it all sorts of ways. You can also tell rattan because it is smooth all the length.
Nice bar!

Thanks Swanky!
I guess it is rattan. It had sections, which made me think it was bamboo.
I put all the alcohol on the bottom section and will try and in risers this weekend.
The upper section with the doors contains a few mugs, bar supplies such as some plastic cups, tiki napkins and such. Everything seems to fit great.
I may get a glass top cut for the top. That way I can display some napkins, postcards and menus under it.
I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions.
