We tried the counterbalance "T" brackets. I personally didn't like the way the vertical part of the "T" hung down so far. If I was standing far enough back from the overhang, I could definitely see them. We wound up returning them and used the freedom bracket from short run pro and are very happy with it. Can't see it at all unless you completely put your face under the overhang. Good luck!

malhgold: which one did you use from short run pro? I need some support for my island overhang, but I did not see any on their website that had no legs or an L shape.

Sheila -- if you call Shortrunpro and give them your measurements, they will tell you what they need

we used the freedom bracket.

I've got them and love them. I don't think they interfered with leg room and they aren't noticeable unless you are sitting on the floor in the next room looking up under the overhang without any stools there. I'll more than happy with them. I have to post a pic for someone else tomorrow so I'll post one of them installed on this thread too so you can see it for yourself.

Resurrecting this thread in hopes someone has used the counterbalance product and can weigh in with info (and pics?).

Thanks

The pictures & description seem to be what our granite company is going to do with our bar extension. We are cutting down our 2-step bar to make it all one level & then extending it out granite for 3 stools to fit underneath. The co said they could hide the struts underneath the wainscoting we are installing around our island. They've had success with this install so I would think it should work for you too.
