After ordering TWO Blanco sinks and both coming in with a crack, we decided to buy the Kraus sink.  It came to us from across the country and was flawless.  We've had the sink installed for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier.  It's a beautiful addition to our new granite counter tops.  It's much more durable than I expected. 
 We thought we'd have problems with scratches and water stains, but it's turned out to be durable  We're very happy with it.
