susanrobertson Thank you both to Griffin and Cynthia for clarifying. I will be sure to allow more space. Lining up the stools in the showroom to test the closeness is a great idea. I'm doing it. Thank you both for your input. I love this kitchen, it's exactly what I invisioned when planning my home.
remodelbu What material is the backsplash (painted glass?) and where it was purchased? I am in the process of remodeling my kitchen and I would love that kind of backsplash.
Griffin Enright Architects Yes this is a glass wall splash, it has a blue paint on the back. It was custom fabricated, but it is just a typical piece of glass.
