Just over 11" tall and made with stripes of Jatoba and Peruvian walnut this a classy looking mill. The metal components are stainless steel and carry a lifetime warranty, as does the body which I cover for normal use. It has 7 coats of food safe finish and can easily cleaned with a wet sponge or towel. The mechanism is the best available and can be fine tuned to grind either very course or very fine and everywhere in between.
