A lovely sink that of just the right proportions. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was concerned with the texture and finish. It is a matte finish and a less smooth, almost chalky texture. Now however I love that it is not smooth and shiny like my other similar porcelain sink. It gives it a more high-end look and catches the light with more of a glow then a reflection. The results are stunning and it almost makes me want to replace my porcelain one this another one like this.
