The copper sink is very heavy, thick, with beautiful hammering. The edge is a full one inch. The finish is dark, like an old penny, so don't expect a coppery shine other than an old patina. The drain is very nice, has drain holes to prevent food from passing through, and can be stopped by just pushing down on it. Faucet is also very solid with smooth action. I am very happy with this combo package. If I had tried to use separate components I don't think they would have matched as well. I mounted the sink under black granite in a small bar area in my country style home. It looks rich without being too gaudy. It would have cost about the same to use good quality stainless, so I feel like I got a great upgrade for what I paid.
