It has been one year since purchasing and installing this sink.
Previously for other installations I had purchased conventional stainless steel sinks with mixed results. This was something new and different which would enhance my new kitchen's decor, so I went with it. My color is Nero, or black. It goes great with other black countertop appliances, and I also chose a black and stainless faucet with sprayer.
The sink arrived very well packed so there were no chips or other damage. The box is huge.
I installed it as drop in rather than undermount. Undermounting has caused me issues in the past, especially with mildew that is hard to clean due to inherent difficulty keeping the joint bead secure, clean and dry. Drop in also raises the effective height of the faucet spray nozzle so it is easier to pass large pots from countertop to under a running water stream. Drop in also gives you more clearance in your under-cabinet space for things like wastebaskets and other storage. Makes your under-cabinet more useful.
Instructions were excellent and installation was easy.
This sink was designed with a lot of thought toward eventual attachments and accessories. And also clearances under the sink and in back for installation of the faucet and ease of faucet installation. Past sinks have been a problem in this regard. This sink seemed to consider any possible accessory or faucet type.
Initially I doubted claims about scratch and wear resistance. After a year of heavy use, this sink cleans up as if it were new.
One thing, is this sink is ROCK and does not give if you drop something in it. Stainless sinks will often bounce a wine glass, but this one won't. So be careful cleaning glasses and other delicate items. If you bump them into this rock sink, the items are more likely to break! However, I don't view this as negative, just something you have to be aware of.
