This is our 2nd purchase of a Kraus sink. This was a great upgrade to our new house, just having a sink large enough to wash baking sheets, large pots and the best thing we think is the rack the sits in the sink keeps the sink from getting scratched. The heavy duty 16-Gauge is so much better than a normal stainless steel sink, it quiet and will last forever, that's the reason we bought our second Krause for this home. 
We also love the pull-down Kraus faucet, it looks great and works well.
