I spent a lot of time researching sinks.  I am so pleased with this sink - it is an excellent size, very roomy, nice and deep for pots and pans. I also like the accessories - the bottom grate is excellent - I can wash items and leave them drip dry right on the grate.  The sink basket catches all the food bits and is easy to pull out and clean.  As soon as I opened the box and saw how the sink was packaged, in a cloth sack,  knew it would be good quality.
