This is the perfect countertop for food preparation and cleanup.  Not only is it  attractive it is very durable and resistant to harsh weather.  Mounts to the table top easily with 4 screws.  The countertop arrived in a well packaged box and the stainless steel was wrapped in a protective film.  A little effort is needed to remove the film but the benefit is protection against scratches in shipping.  I like this stainless steel countertop because of the low maintenance and are super-hygienic when preparing food.
