A lot depends on what kind of wood you want it made out of...and how many corners you would want a carpenter to cut when doing this...with a carpenter though, they can make it very fancy, and prices could go very high...especially if they hand carved that trim.

Could you maybe tell a few more specifics? That might help...

If you don't need to to be just like that bar table, I would try to see about making a special order from a furniture store and try to get something similiar...That would be cheap enough...or even make rounds at antique shops.

well that trim around the bar can be found at home depot rather cheap it doesn't have to look exactly like that just close?...

I'd guess somewhere between $1000 and $1500.

I would charge $500 to $600 in labor, then add in the cost of materials, which could be in the neighboorhood of $500. There are lots of variables here though. Good luck.
