We are contractors and installed this sink in our own kitchen when we built our own home. It has been a year and it still looks brand new. It is sturdy and doesnt "give" at all. Super easy to clean! We have already recommended this sink for 2 of our customers. Flat bottom and love the sides are straight up maximizing the space inside the sink!!! The basket strainer is the best thing ever to prevent food from going down the drain!
