We purchased this drop-in sink to replace a porcelain/steel sink on granite. This sink feels like a major upgrade. The finish is smooth and attractive, kind of matte, but with a touch of shine. It's definitely not glossy. The sink is heavy and sturdy for quartz resin, but lighter than many other materials. The extras that come with this sink are really nice as well. I love the rack at the bottom that helps keep dishes off of the floor of the sink itself, and the drying rack/mesh is really quite handy too. The cutting board is heavy-duty in terms of weight, so we'll see how it holds up over time.  We have nice brushed bronze fixtures, and they work well with this sink (I was a little concerned that stainless steel would be needed, but bronze also looks good). Overall, we're very pleased with this purchase, and we would highly recommend it.
