These are 10 years old. The patina is more noticeable in photos than in person. I feel they were one of the best decisions I made in this kitchen.

I only have them in a beverage center portion of my kitchen and it's only been a month but I LOVE them! They did a brushed finish (as opposed to shiny) so any potential scratches would be hidden, but no scratches so far and we have a young child who is always putting glasses on it. LOVE the stainless!! Would not hesitate to use it in my whole kitchen.

Stainless countertops look really nice.

Thank you!!!

I found this to be a good run down on SS counters by theresse a few years ago, and includes photos.
