Well…too early to tell what I really think since we haven’t put the sink in use yet. After 3 reorders we finally received one without stress cracks in the corners. My prediction is they were most likely stacking too many in the warehouse. But I have to say I have never had such a great experience with customer service and have to give props to Perigold for handling the problem without a bit of pushback and expeditiously correcting the problem! Thank you for the great service and hopefully the product doesn’t disappoint after all the trouble. Thank you Perigold!
