I was so impressed by the care exemplified by the shipping/protection method. Then, when I opened the product and placed it on top of our polished stainless steel table, it brought out the spectacular patterns ("grain") in the bare metal - that I'd never seen in over 10 years of owning the table. I only wish I could attach a photo here, as part of this review. Instead I'll go to the fabglassandmirror website to do so.
