Trying to wash dishes and large pans in a split sink is frustrating. So when we decided to renovate our kitchen, the first thing I researched was the largest sink I could find at a reasonable cost. We wanted a contemporary, flat apron, white sink and found exactly that. It's installed, looks beautiful, and we are grateful for the gray, split, silicone grid that came with the sink. It cleans easily and so far, we haven't had any issues with chipping. It was very reasonably priced compared to other brands.
