I wanted this wifi bar in the lobby of a condo to be a mix of industrial and modern, but remain warm and inviting. We were working on a tight budget so I had the bar made of wood and used a silver metallic spray on it so the wood grain would show through for an organic feel. We then put a durable, high gloss bar top acrylic over that. The back splash is made from 5" high raw steel. The glossy mirrors and industrial orange stools make for an inviting place to sit and work on a lap top or visit and have a cocktail
