I bought this model 4 years ago when we built our house & loved it.  I poured a large pot of hot water in it and got a hairline crack, took photos & sent to customer service.  I had the exact sink sent to me overnight at no charge.  My contractor installed it and so happy to have the same one.  I never had a problem with staining or scratches & everyone who saw it loved it.  I would bath my granddaughter in the sink and it made the perfect baby bathtub.  If you are looking at a Vigo product feel safe in knowing they have the best customer service
