I have been wanting to get a farmhouse sink for so long and was finally able to get one and I think I made a great choice, this sink is so big and beautiful and just what I imagined my dream kitchen sink to be. I cannot speak to the longevity of the sink as we haven’t had it for very long but it has held up nicely so far to hand washing dishes and pots and pans! My husband installed this himself without any issues and a little lifting help from my sons he had it installed in no time! We love it and really hope it holds up well!
