I still have twinges about not grabbing that Siesta Ware glass set, but life's full of compromises. Not sure. If it's custom/homemade it was very well built. I'd venture to say the cloth panels were definitely added in recent years and the bar appears to be older. A lot of the stain on the bamboo is chipping away. In a dimly lit bar it probably wouldn't be noticeable but silly me, I started dissecting the bar, pulling each piece of bamboo off and stripping it. And now that I've started there's no turning back. Oh boy what have I gotten myself into!? It probably would have been less time, money and work to build it from scratch.
