The sink is beautiful and spacious however,was only installed a month ago and we have numerous scratches on the bottom.  We use the protective grates.  I also made a mistake in ordering as I did not realize it was not a polished , brushed stainless steel which would hide some of that.  It is a  little too shiny for my taste and the water spatters do not seem to drain off.  But I do just love the size of it.
