You can browse countertops, DIY liquor cabinets and bar stools online. And it will be delivered to your home quickly. Since shopping transactions are all made online, there are things that you should remember, especially when it comes to buying furniture.

1. Check the height and measurements carefully: First, measure the available space in your home for the stools, cabinet and countertop or anything else you plan to put that requires space. Then, with the specifications of the products, images, and layout them on your floor plan. In that way, you can estimate if it will fit the space that you have. As for the stool and countertop’s height, choose a stool with a 9-12 inches difference between the bottom part of the countertop table. It is essential that you measure them well so that the users will feel comfortable with them.
2. Choose a design that you want: If you’re following a specific theme for your minibar, make sure that the countertop’s design coordinates well with your stool. There are four designs that you can browse when you check stools online:

1. Backless – this is the most common design that you can see. This one is convenient for those who only have limited space. They are round and can be hidden under the countertop.
2. With arms – this is a good option if you opt to sit for a long time. This one is by far the most comfortable but still saves up space. Just make sure that the arms can still be hidden under the countertop.
3. Swivel – if your guests want to move around, this stool design is very convenient. But not very ideal for households that have children. It may cause accidents if they play with it.
4. Upholstered – if you are using your countertop as a dining area, this is the most family-friendly stool style. It is comfortable for all ages and adds a formal aura to your kitchen set.

• Quantity: Another factor why pre-measuring is important. So that you will know how much furniture you can add to the available space that you have. In that way, you will save yourself from buying too much or less. It will also give you an idea of how many can use your minibar.
• Choose the furniture’s material: This one is important for maintaining and keeping the furniture’s durability. Wood and metal furniture are easy to handle and maintain. In comparison, rattan and wicker items should be handled with care.

At this time of the pandemic, people need to be resourceful on how they can still be entertained without facing the risks of endangering themselves or others. Be creative and enjoy being at home!
