This is a beautiful sink.  It was easy to install.  I got stainless steel and the only negative is it scratches VERY easily.  I came to realize that basket strainer almost gets in the way, so I put it away.  I did oil the cutting board.  One thing I learned over the last few months is the edges of the cutting board have some mold spots on them from sitting in the sink after using it and it getting wet.  Bummer but lesson learned!  Overall, great sink, I get compliments often.
