This is the 'black' version. Do you think that it will still get lost and we need something with more punch. Still deciding on best material/colour for splashback. We will have a window over the sink and glass fronted cabinets along the wall behind the island bench. This is the light we thought we could use above the sink (probably not enough space for downlights to be installed) http://www.fatshackvintage.com.au/products/city-hall-flush-mount-light. Thank you

Hi, You can contact the supplier through their product page on Houzz (1), and you can also visit their online store if they have that linked (2). E.g. I hope this helps! Luke

My son used to help me cook in the kitchen - he is 190 cm, I am 175cm. I have an old-fashioned breakfast bar which is raised above the level of the kitchen benchtop. My son would stand at the raised section, I would stand at the lower section, it worked really well. An alternative might be to have a pull out step in the kick board spaces for your wife to stand on - I don't know if it would be high enough, but it might make things more comfortable. Speaking from the point of view of a tall woman, I will have my next kitchen cupboards and laundry raised at least 10 cm to make my life more comfortable - bending forward for any length of time is seriously UN comfortable!

they're great looking stool but perhaps you're ready for something a little more comfortable ...could you add a cushion in a light coloured fabric to soften the seat?
