Sink was packed in a box with only corner protections but came in without damage. This is for a second home and bought because I currently have this sink in our primary home and really like it. Its depth is great for soaking or washing larger objects. I also love the ledge to place sponges and other items. The only drawback is keeping it clean and new looking. Want to be careful with different cleansers due to the material as I don’t want to scratch or ruin the finish.
