Very, very pleased, nice quality sink.

The brush marks on the stainless are a little "deeper" than some other brands, which is both good and bad. I assume it will hide any scratches better than a smoother finish, but some cleaners (BKF powder) are difficult to rinse away completely. The trick of wiping the sink with a little olive oil or mineral oil on a paper towel does bring back that like-new shine and keeps it from collecting water spots.

One thing I did prior to installation was to spray the underside of the sink (bottom and sides) with "rubberized undercoating", this is something you can purchase at about any auto parts store for less than $10. It makes the sink so soundproof you can barely tell when the garbage disposal is on, and gives the sink a very "solid" feel. (Just don't use regular undercoating...that stuff stays sticky and gets over everything. The ruberized dries hard and can be painted, but dries a dark gray anyway) I don't know if this was necessary as the sink already has some noise reduction material on it, but I figured more couldn't hurt!

I also purchased the optional raised wire grate, this thing is fantastic.....I doubt I'll ever have another sink without one of these.

This sink is HUGE! Even though there is no divider, using it to wash and rinse dishes is no problem. Getting the rack is a real good idea. I noticed some staining a few months after installaiton, but it must have been from the finishing proecess because it cleaned off with a scruppbing pad.

I really would recommend this sink to anybody. The quality of this sink is fantastic. Our old stainless steel sink was builder grade, so I was really looking for quality as well as functionality. It is so deep and with the offset it just really pops in our kitchen with the granite counter tops. We have had so many compliments on it since it's been installed. Washing large pots and pans have never been this easy before. Wish I would have found it sooner.

PROS: Beautiful, sink, love the non-standard shape. Much bigger and deeper than I expected.

CONS: I purchased the optional Basket Strainer which is very nice BUT the connection at the base of the strainer is a smaller non-standard size that wouldn't fit the usual PVC pipe connectors. The plumber had to do a custom fitting for it.

I bought this sink in June 2010, got it installed in July. The shipping was fast and the sink arrived well-packed. It was beautiful.

Love the big-ness and the deep-ness (a bit too deep in fact, b/c I have it under-mounted, so you will need to add another 1.5 inches to the sink depth b/c of the thickness of the counter-top, I have quarts counter-top). The roundness of the corner make it easy to clean and no where for dirt to hide.

The sink show scratches easily though. After less than a week of use, you can see where the scrub-sponges left their marks.

Other than that, I would have given this sink a 5 rating.
