Purchase one to see how it looks ... and it is very nice and adds a contemporary look that blends well with new stainless appliances. Much heavier than expected, but obviously sturdy.  Need to do something about the "heavy" steel back on a swivel as it will damage the edge of the new granite countertop IF it gets carelessly pivoted (it will eventually happen). Perhaps stick-on "clear" bumpers or pads ??? -- need to give it some thought before ordering additional counter height stools as our kitchen remodel nears completion.
