This sink ended up being a compromise. I wanted a farmhouse/apron front sink and my husband did not want a traditional porcelain/cast iron sink. So we got this stainless steel farmhouse sink and we are both in love with it! It is so convenient to have such a wide and deep sink for soaking and washing dishes. And it looks gorgeous! It's the first think people comment on when they see our newly renovated kitchen. I could not be happier with the style and quality.
