This sink is high quality! It’s quiet and has all the things you need to have a high functioning kitchen prep area. The accessories are easy to use and provide much functionality. No issues with drainage at all. One word of caution, if you’re installing this as an under mount, INSIST that the installer uses the actual sink and not the template. My installer had to re-cut so my cutting board and strainer would sit flush. No fault of the manufacturer.

I spent a significant amount of time researching the perfect sink for my new kitchen renovation. My wish list included: stainless, deep, wide and reasonably priced. I should also say that I enjoy washing dishes and I am only 5" tall since I read every review, praise and criticism before making my purchase. I have had the sink in place for just over 2 months now and I do not regret my choice at all.Pros:1-deep, spacious enough for double boilers and baking sheets.2-has lip/edge on 2 of the four sides so you can rest a one of 3 accessories-cutting board, roll up flat drying rack and bottom grate.3-comes with 3 accessories included, including the bottom grate to protect it from getting banged up.4-Arrived extremely well packed and had a fabric protector bag.5-price is very reasonable compared to big box stores and kitchen renovation showroom stores.6- arrived within promised time, which was faster than anything else I ordered for my new kitchen.Cons:1- it needs to be washed and wiped after every use if you want it to look like a sparkly show piece- I don't really think this is even an issue, it's a sink not a car but for someone it may be a big deal based on other reviews2-you need to remove the bottom grate and clean the bottom of the sink regularly so the grate "feet" don't leave stains. Again, this is not really an issue for me- it's a sink for washing and I expect it to need to be washed as well.We receive lots of complments on the sink and the one feature everyone seems to notice is the lip/edge to rest the accessories-it is clever and well thought out. We highly recommend this sink.

I do love the quality of the sink stainless steel. The "bells and whistles" aka added features are nice too, but there are some things to get used to with this type of sink. First of all the good: nice and deep, the cutting board is awesome. It comes with a drain hole cover that can sit over the opening on its legs and allow the water to drain without needing to worry about dropping anything down the opening. I needed a disposal, so I couldn't use the adorable little sink strainer it came with. The grate for the bottom of the sink is also very nice. The colander, which I was really excited to get with the sink, is a nice feature, but it is actually too bulky. There is not enough room to keep the colander and the cutting board on the ledge provided and still use the sink to wash pots and pans or basically anything. So, I have to move those items to the counter or temporarily store on the cooktop, which I was not expecting. And, it is hopeless to think you could use the drain rack and keep the colander and/or cutting board out too. Thus, you need to have storage options for these accessories. Each is great, but they are taking up more storage room that I had planned on. Now to what I don't like about the sink: first of all, it is a pain to keep clean. I knew it was flat, but I expected some slope to help to drain the water and debris. Nope. Everything, just everything rinsed off of a plate, pot or bowl gets pushed out to the corners of the sink and remains there. I swear my water bill will increase dramatically, because I run it so often trying to wash the debris from, for example, a salad, down the drain. So, in order to clean it, you have to remove all accessories, including the bottom rack, and then you have to scrub because if you don't do this after each use, whether rinsing something easy like a bowl of oatmeal, then a film of whatever you rinsed is left spread out on the bottom of the sink below the elevated grate. And, when I realized that I needed to scrub the sink basically each day, I saw little rust spots along the edge of the base. Small, like the size of a not so sharp pencil. But in order to scrub out the rust spots, I need to use the scouring sponge, the one that you are not supposed to use because it scratches the stainless steel. I also noticed that even though I have not scrubbed the side of the sink (the vertical parts) with the scouring pad, there are scratches showing. I know stainless steel scratches, but this is 16 guage and I expected it to not scratch when a scrubbing brush is used. One with plastic bristles. The other thing is dang, cleaning those corners is tough. It's hard to get the small spots of rust out of those corners. I'm hoping that it doesn't fail or have more rust, because it is an undermount with thick granite, and it is not able to be changed. To sum it up, I really do like the "look" of the sink. It is a big basin with some very sexy features; but in practicality, those features could become a pain because of storage and just cumbersome to have to remove the base grate to clean the sink each day. I even tried pouring boiling water over the grate to see if that would wash away the food debris film, and it didn't. And, I'm a vegetarian, so this isn't even meat waste or fat or grease. But given that I absolutely hated my prior tiny two bowl ceramic sink, I am better off with this one. I'm just hoping that the rust spots are not anything that relates to poor quality stainless steel.
