Our materials list:
-1x board of plywood (3/4") cut to the dimensions you will use from step 1. We used what was called "patch board" plywood that was almost the right size when we bought it (you don't need a HUGE board, look around Home Depot, you will find thick smaller peices)

-2x 2x4's, pick the nicest looking ones, we used them for our frame under the bar top to raise it up. Cut them to size to make a simple frame to be attached to the top of the peice of furniture

-2x 1" Trim (looks like fake wood, extruded foam maybe?) to put around the edges, real cheap like couple bucks a peice

-Minwax wood stain can, we used "Red Chestnut" and it looks swell
-Minwax urethane clear coat can
-Woodglue

-Bunch of paintbrushes, the urethane will dry in between coats and if you dont clean the brushes you will have to throw them away
