Bars & Tops
Cabinets interiors can have white melamine (a white durable surface over particle board), or wood veneer core that is clear coated. Drawer boxes can be melamine, wood veneer core, or solid hardwood with dovetail joints. Laminate tops are built in our own shop.

There is a bar sink on the right side of the wood like laminate counter top with a beveled oak edge. A refrigerator in the base cabinet, along with 4 drawers and 2 other storage cabinets.
