If my expectation were different I may have been more satisfied with this purchase. 

1. IT IN NO WAY RESEMBLES STONE OF ANY KIND.  
2. If you have purchased or encountered a fireclay or enamel type farmhouse sink, you will be disappointed as not only does this not resemble stone in any way but it also does not look authentic. 
3. IT IS ONLY MATTE ON THE OUTSIDE, THE INTERIOR OF THE SINK LOOKS LIKE GLOSSY PLASTIC
4. It advertises that you can lightly sand out scratches; this is untrue as only the exterior of the sink has the matte finish and the interior of the sink will be scratched by any abrasives and in fact you are warned against using any acidic or abrasive cleaning agents suggesting that this is an even less durable product than enamel/ stone.
