This is a beautiful sink...very well done. It's deep, so it makes washing large things a breeze. Be warned that things left in the sink may cause rings, or marks, depending on whether there is any residue on it. Vinegar will lighten the sink. Eventually the marks will darken, but to overall lighten the copper color, you can use vinegar to wipe it down. Personally, I think this adds to the character of the sink, but if you don't think you'll like marks showing, this sink is NOT FOR YOU!!!
