I just used maple plywood because it still has nice grain and is cheaper than oak plywood. I also used birch veneered melamine shelves, grain is close to maple. I added clear tube covered style fairy lighting that has 16 colour options and is 110 volt AC, the tube tucks neatly in the corner and simply used clear silicone to hold it in place. I lined the shelves with a thin clear rubber mat. For the bottle section I built a 3 step shelf with each shelf being about 8 ” wide, leaving me with 4 levels including the section without a shelf at the front. the bottle section uses about half the the 8′ straight bar length, the remainder is split in two sections shelving and the refrigerator on the end.
