We love this sink. It is very deep. The large bowl of the sink is huge. So huge that it takes a lot of water (and time) to fill it. If we were to purchase again, I would rather a sink exactly the same except with equal sized bowls. That way the sink would not require as much water to fill and the smaller side, which we use for placing dishes dry, would fit a few more dishes. Even with that, however, we still really love this sink. For reference, the large bowl of the sink fits an entire jelly sheet flat. The grates that come with it are excellent. I never even knew i wanted a sink grate, but now I love that I have them. However, because the sink is already so large, we remove the grate when we fill the sink with water to wash dishes, because the height of the grate requires we fill the sink even fuller. The other "issue" you might run into, is that because the sink is so deep, it extends further down into the sink cabinet. So that may be something you need to consider, as well.
