Stainless Steel columns for speaker stands

Restaurant supply houses will sell 4" chrome tubes for table bases. Stainless is impossible to mount/work with/drill or cut. Chrome will work better.

or you can buy 4" diam stainless steel tubing at a metal supply house. It does cut more difficultly than carbon steel but not a big deal. just order cut lengths. there will be options on the wall thickness.

The stainless steel tube will only be cosmetic. It will go over a 3.5" hardwood post with a black rubber gaskets on the base and under the top plate. It will match a low level granite slab with 2.5" diameter polished stainless steel legs that I bought via the internet 3 years ago. I can't for the life of me remember where I got them. Hence the need for help.

Thanks
