The drain hole has a lip to it so the water pools around and cannot drain out completely - see pic. You'll end up with gunk and water stains. I replaced the drain to something more flushed so all the water drains out completely. It does not have an indentation for a soap holder to allow water to drip back into the sink instead of your countertop. If you're able to replace the drain and use a soap holder like I did then this sink will work for you.
