Rowlinson Garden Mini Bar

The concept is great but sadly it’s not protected durning delivery - the parts are only in a bag and get beat up and broken. Multiple broken boards and a couple dents to the metal work. Instructions are almost pointless - you would be best just guessing by the picture.

After purchasing I was very excited to be getting this ready for my party I’m hosting in early August. When it turned up IN PLASTIC WRAP that had been split open in multiple places I was still optimistic! Upon opening it all up, it all seemed fine until I found one of the back planks has a split in it, the two beams holding the planks together didn’t even fit and I had to saw it down myself, and over all the quality of the wood is disgusting for the price you pay for this! And to top it off, the wood isn’t even treated! I’m not someone who has over £200 to splash about Willy nilly for this item to turn up in this state! I would not purchase again nor recommend to anyone. I would advise everyone to look elsewhere for a better quality and treatment of item. It will most likely not going to last long so I’m going to have to invest more items to sturdy it.

Item arrived a day earlier than expected. As the delivery men carried it in, screws were falling out of the bottom of one of the packs. I found the screw bag had been ripped open by a piece of detatched wood full of staples. After checking through the inventory, I was lucky to find only one screw was missing, and I was fortunate enough to be able replace it. On opening the first pack, the 'back panel' was in bits (part of which was the cause of the screw bag being ripped) . It took me an hour to properly re-assemble with the addition of wood glue to beef it up. I had to leave it overnight to allow the glue to set. The back panel is of poor design and construction. I wouldn't kill them to add a bit of glue. The metal bar top also had a significant dent on the front corner. I'm lucky enough to have had the ability to resolve these problems myself and avoid the pain of having to arrange a return or exchange. Not really worth the price paid, considering all the extra work I had to put in and the poor quality. Assembly instructions were reasonably simple to follow, but I found a couple of occasions I had to take bits off and reposition because it didn't quite go together how it should according to the plans. It eventually went together OK, but if you're not technically minded and don't have a lot of tools, you might struggle to assemble this on your own. I needed a rubber mallet, hammer, tape measure, spirit level, drill and bits, screw driver, clamps and a pencil. I don't think I'd buy it again.

Overall were happy with the bar but it was poorly delivered resulting in parts being broken and having to re order extra parts. I would highly recommend packing within cardboard boxes, not plastic. For the amount of money it cost the wood quality is poor as we have had replacement parts still with chips on it

Package arrived with some screws missing. The wood was damaged in some places and very dry. It was difficult to put together, even with 2 of us (a good couple of hours) due to missing screws and cheapness of the wood. Would not recommend.

Love it easy to put together well made and fast delivery thanks Vicki

Pretty solid overall...a few splits in the wood here and there which was a little disappointing and seems as though not really been checked over properly for quality before sending out to the customer .overall pretty satisfied..took 2 of us about an hr just under ..would still recommend this product but think certain people would send back as so many splits on the wood

Very easy to put together;great value;looked everywhere nicer with some parts painted and bar signs.

Lovely bar does the job for parties and can be painted

Brilliant I had wheels fitted to it so it can be easily stored away in the winter months
