This sink is scratch resistant, minimal water spots, and looks so much more expensive than it actually is. Also, the accompanying colander makes it so easy to dump veggies and fruits in there and wash it without having to move it around to drain given the generous drain opening next to the elevated part of the sink. We also got the metal grate to go over the main part of the sink. This is honestly the best material, especially if you cook with heavy spices that could stain!
