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.

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.
