Used to have double sink, but purchased this for this home after much consideration, and am very pleased. Kitchen here is a narrow galley design, so the smaller sink works perfectly for one person. I DID purchase the grille to protect the stainless finish base, but it was a bother - too hard to clean and the plastic guards kept falling off, so cannot recommend that added feature. Three years in, I have no regrets; extremely well made and was simple to install. Looks very clean with the simple style, albeit now with scratches. Can't avoid them.
