Ordered ruvati sink - now double guessing - HALP!

13 years ago

Ordered this sink form overstock for our kitchen remodel - we are doing granite all new appliances - painting cabinets. Just a refresh.
Anyway onto the sink - here it is:

https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Ruvati-16-gauge-Stainless-Steel- 34-inch-Double-Bowl-Undermount-Kitchen-Sink/7029821/product.html?fp=f& CID=212991&token=212991-2129912013062013717209662291358655821513509856 -1-094772

I don't have a prep sink so I thought I would not want a single. Now I am double guessing my decision because I am wondering how the sink will look mounted under my granite. Will the curved bigger sinking bug me because it is not symmetrical? Does anybody have this sink?

Also if I decide to return am I going to have to pay $$$$ to send back?

HALP I don't know what to do!

I do think functionality will be there - we are putting disposal on big side which will be great so I can have the right side (smaller sink) for clean stuff and veggies. But the looks? The looks have me worried.

    Are you worried it won't look good because one bowl is bigger than the other? This sink shape is quite popular. In fact if you search for "undermount sink" in Google Images, its the most common image you get. Here are some images to help you get an idea of what the sink will look once installed in granite. The extra space that you have behind the smaller bowl is where you put your faucet and soap dispenser.
