We love our stainless steel farmhouse sink. It looks great! I was worried it was going to look too big since we have a small kitchen (approx. 11' x 11'), but it really blends in to the cabinetry and the counter top and matches our appliances. It is amazingly functional. I can wash out big pots with plenty of room. You really need a pull out spray nozzle faucet. My husband and I did not use the grate included as it is a pain to lift it out each time when you need to rinse out the sink and make the food particles go down the disposal. The bottom of the sink is a bit scratched now, but it doesn't bother us. Use the rack if you prefer not to have scratches. I've attached a picture of a kitchen in progress!
