This portable bar is lightweight and comes in a perfect carry case. Extremely easy to open, set-up, and close. The workspace is bigger than an average portable bar and the lower shelf is VERY sturdy. The bar itself is very sturdy, even on uneven pavement (grass). The canvas-like cover is thin and wrinkly looking so if you really want to dress up this bar you can buy fabric and change the look of the bar to match any event. You can even buy banquet table covers to change the look. This really is a a great portable bar for a great price!
