This is a beautiful sink! The colour, finish and construction of it are all perfect. It seems like it should have been a lot more expensive than it was! Our old sink was 2-basins, so it's really nice to have the extra room for washing large items (although it has taken a bit of getting used to ie: having to put dishes on the counter while they dry instead of in the other side of the sink). The finish is a matte or satin finish with a very slight sparkle to it in the right light. I think it's pretty, but just a heads up in case that might not be your thing. My only complaint is that there isn't much of a slope to the bottom, so if you're trying to spray bubbles / crumbs down the drain, they don't easily flow that way. That's a pretty minor issue, though. Overall, very happy with this purchase!
