Bar stability

I love this idea, so utilitarian. Have a perfect "awkward" spot where this would be a terrific solution. Does the bar stay stable when 3 people are seated at it, or does it have a lot of wobble? So glad for this photo, I couldn't tell what the leg looked like from the others. Really neat! Thanks for sharing.

It's very stable...the stone top is very heavy and is attached to a piece of wood that sits inside the stainless steel frame under it, so no flex. The anchored end sits inside the cabinet counter, providing a very stable base on that end. When we widened it, it increased the weight quite a bit...if you want to make it any longer or wider it might be better to make it a wood or stainless top.
