This vessel sink exceeded our expectations completely. It's heavy/solid, matte and almost has a fine texture to it. When so many of our orders have shipped broken and damaged we were ecstatic when this came in whole and without even so much as a chip in it. So much of the black matte bathroom faucet items do not have a protective plastic to keep them from scratching during install, but this didn't need anything like that... it's quality/well-made. Be aware you will need a vessel drain, without an overflow opening. We ordered one online for a very affordable price to match the faucet, pictured here, which is also available through Wayfair. The cabinet was also purchased through Wayfair, but the backsplash was custom made on-site.
