Know before you buy
The versions differ primarily in their width, allowing you to choose the best fit for your space. The Jet 1 is 33¾ inches wide, the Jet 2 is 32¾ inches, and the Jet 4 is the most compact option at 19¾ inches.
The Jet Bar Trolley does require assembly upon arrival. While it is designed for straightforward setup, we recommend having a second person assist you to ensure the frame and shelves are aligned correctly.
Canaletto walnut offers a natural, warm aesthetic that benefits from occasional wood conditioning. The shiny lacquer finish is easier to wipe down but shows fingerprints more readily, while the microstrip inlay provides a textured surface that is durable but requires careful dusting.
The castors are designed for smooth movement across most standard indoor surfaces, including hardwood, tile, and low-pile rugs. If you have delicate flooring, we recommend testing the trolley in a small area first to ensure the wheels glide without leaving marks.
Yes, the frame is crafted from solid Canaletto walnut and supported by a matte black metal base, providing a stable structure. It is engineered to support the weight of standard barware and spirits, though it is always best to distribute heavier items evenly across the shelves.
