Wow, this sink is gorgeous! I appreciate how well this was packed as well, using dense, molded foam and not the crumbly kind. The sink itself is smooth, glossy and has a matching protective grid and drain assembly. I can’t wait to install this beautiful and very large sink! Note that the box is super heavy and will require 2-4 people to move it. Again- very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this brand!
