We bought this sink to go with dark gray quartz countertops. It looks beautiful. The material is softer than stainless, so it doesn’t scratch and isn’t hard on our dishes and glasses. We also bought the accompanying insert and strainer. The only words of caution are for people with hard water, which we don’t have a problem with. My son lives in a hard water area and bought this sink in black. It shows all the limestone stains.
