Nice looking mill, but flawed design, January 23, 2012

While the mill itself is of nice design, in a handsome natural cherry, with an ample chamber for salt, the mechanism that determines the coarseness of the ground salt is poorly designed. It does not hold it's "locked" position in spite of claims to the contrary, and requires frequent readjusting. Knowing this, I would not purchase this item again.

I have spent a good deal of time researching different salt mills and had seen these in the local stores and was very impressed! I especially like the fact that it is MADE IN THE USA! However, it is the unique cleaning and coarseness features that really sold me on this mill. Check their website or youtube for the video. So far we are very, very pleased with the performance of this mill, so much in fact we purchased more of them for gifts for this holiday season! We also purchased the matching Vic Firth BGR08PM11 8-Inch Bordergrill Pepper Mill, Cherry

Would recommend this over any other mill. We had tried similar mills made in France and paid an outrageous price, never again!
