The color of this sink is hard to capture entirely accurately in pictures (very reflective surfaces & materials) and each one varies slightly.  Having said that, the sink I received was well within the color margins of the picture. The first one I received someone had put a forklift through the box which though the sink is well packaged, went through the styrafoam.  I had no problems whatsoever with Wayfair.  They replaced the sink immediately.  This sink is installed in a powder room in a household with two adults and two other bathrooms in the house.  I say this because the sink does not get a lot of use.  I can see where waterspots might be an issue if it was being used a lot by children. I just wipe down the sink once a week and I have no problems.  The hardware on it is very heavy, not flimsy at all.  I get lots of comments on the sink and am  happy with it for my purposes.
