When I first told people I had purchased a black sink for our kitchen remodel, I got a variety of responses. There were puzzled looks, a few polite "nice" responses, but no "awesome" responses. I knew I had done the right thing when the sink came, even though it was six months before it was installed. Even my son (who is also my contractor for the kitchen remodel) was impressed and pleased after installing the sink. Everyone who sees it agrees it is a show-stopper. It looks amazing with the black quartz sparkly countertops. I would recommend purchasing the basin racks for the sink because it is possible to scratch the beautiful finish. We are super pleased with this sink and we are looking forward to enjoying it for many years!
