Furthermore, each original bar comes with the Wallace & Hinz medallion that features a unique serial number. That way, years down the road, we can answer any of your questions or concerns, whether you are the original owner or not.
Once the bar is finished, each piece is carefully packed into custom wooden crates. Free space is filled with expandable foam to protect the bar to the maximum. The bar is then shipped to you at a cost depending on location and size. We can install your bar worldwide or consult with you or your contractor to guide you through the install.
