I wanted a farmhouse sink so bad but the prices were daunting. This sink had a reasonable price so I took a chance on it. My contractor has installed a lot of these sinks and he was very impressed with it, and said he has seen people pay 2 or 3 times as much as the sinks show up slightly warped and are very hard to work with on install. This one fit right in the cabinet and the stone fit flat on top. We have used it for six months and it looks fantastic. Very happy!
