Design Toscano SJ45001 Sixteenth-Century Italian Replica Globe Bar Cart Cabinet on Wheels, 22 Inches Wide, 38 Inches Tall, MDF, Hardwood and Paper, Sepia Brown Finish

We a bit nervous after ordering. Photo on website looked good, but photos can lie. Actual piece is very nice. Not real cherry wood, but a nice simulated finish. The decals on the globe don't perfectly match, so if you look closely at the globe, there are places where the panels are off by a quarter inch or so. As a working globe this would be a show stopper, but it's only evident if you are trying to use it as a globe. As a piece of eye-candy, it works very well. Very nice looking. Capacity wise, I have one or two unusually shaped bottle that won't fit inside the globe, but they sit undeneath in the rack. Holds about 4-5 bottles of liquor inside globe and about six underneath. There is a row for glassware that holds about 6-8 glasses. Don't really drink wine, so can't speak to the capacity for wine glasses. Easy assembly, but you will need a bladed screw driver and a small wrench which are not included.

Its a sad state when a company includes all parts and it actually makes an impression. Not only did they safely send the product with all parts but everything was neatly packaged and included were very easy to follow directions. These were normal size directions and not those typically included that are the size of a credit card. I was also pleased with the design. It seemed well engineered with quality parts. Cosmetically, it looks great. Also, i was pleasantly surprised with a little bonus gift. A nifty wine and bottle opener! A few nit pick things that i will not take any stars away for: 1) Color is a bit orange for me. This is very subjective I understand. 2) I did expect it to be a bit larger 3) I expected the globe to be wood but it is plastic. Probably my fault for not reading more carefully. 4) It does seem like something that while sturdy now, storing heavy bottles could wear it out in a year or two. Having not used it yet, i look forward to seeing how well it stores my liquid treasures.

I purchased this bar globe for my husband for christmas. He had been fascinated by one he sees in our attorneys office for years, but I always thought the price would have been way out of my league, so I never thought twice about purchasing one for him. I found many on Amazon from many different companies, so I wasn't sure which manufacturer to go with. I'm so pleased I chose Toscano Design company. When he opened the box, it seemed like there might be a challenge building it, however, once its all laid out, it couldn't be easier! It took 7 minutes and no cuss words. :) The bar is fascinating while the lid is closed, and when its opened up its even more elaborate and exquisite. There is plenty of room for stemware, shot glasses, cordial glasses, whatever your desire, as well as 3 bottles in the center part of the globe. Underneath the globe there is also plenty of more storage, I'd say enough room for 9 more bottles. It even fits our large decanter, which is now displayed in this beautiful piece. I'd go as far as saying its like a piece of furniture on wheels so you can wheel it to wherever the party is happening. I noticed this company had the same thing "made in Italy". If you can afford it, get that one, however, I purchased the one made in China because of the lower price tag, and couldn't be happier with my decision. It is truly a beautiful addition. It is the type of item that will be an inheritance piece, as many have already made their claim on it! If they only knew how affordable it is, they would be purchasing their own. I don't tell them the price. I just let them think we paid alot :)

This does what I intended. Its mostly decoration and the quality of the materials appears to be made mainly of MDF board and soft wood.

I bought this for my husband's Christmas present; before buying, I read a lot of reviews, some of which criticized the construction and cartography on the globe. I disagree! It's decorative! You're not supposed to be mapping your way through shark-infested waters with only the north star to steer by...with a bar/globe (if you are, my deepest condolences and....I expect your memoirs to be published shortly because I'd like to read that story!). If you are a professional antiquarian cartographer and the inaccuracies of the globe are going to bug you, then don't buy. It's a lovely decorative piece that is easy to assemble, holds a decent amount of alcohol, and makes any room look more scholarly. Plus, it's perfect for disguising booze if any teetotaling guests come by! Nothing to see here! :) My husband loved it!

The maps sometimes don't align (Southern and Northern hemisphere). I've had and loved this for a decade. It looks great and my guests often love it. Good space inside and solid design.

The bar looks great and really easy to assemble with no tools. Here are some down sides. Packaged very well for protection of product, that being said there were still several nicks and gouges that needed touching up. The bottom half of the globe wasn't high enough to fit in the grooves provided on the top shelf. I needed to added 4 washers each to the columns holding the globe half to raise high enough engage in the groves. This is significant gap. The size of the globe is pretty small. A regular size bottle of wine or decanter would fit in the center but that's it. There is no way stemmed wine glasses fit in the slots provided so the globe will close, not even one. All in all making do with these short comings as the piece is attractive. Found another purpose for the inside of the globe storing smaller items.

This was amazing. I bought it for my Son for Christmas and had it delivered to him. It arrived on time in excellent condition and the quality and craftsmanship were exceptional. It’s beautiful and very sturdy.

Item is good and easy to fix. I cannot use it to keep my whisky glasses. Also the top panel have scratches. Paying a premium price, I was not expecting such manufacturing defects

macht sich im "Herrenzimmer" super

My husband has always wanted an antique globe bar and we’ve never run across one. I took a chance and grabbed this one off Amazon for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. My husband is very into antiques so I was worried a new one wouldn’t be acceptable for his taste, but he loves it.

Lo pedimos para regalar en un cumpleaños sorpresa. Es un mueble bar muy original que sorprende. Al homenajeado le ha encantado. Eso si, requiere un pequeño montaje. Excelente regalo para quedar bien.

Magnifique rien à dire
