I have this sink, and I love it. I'm planning to buy a second one for my new house.

It's a higher gauge steel than most in the price range (thicker steel has a lower number), meaning it makes less noise when you drop things in it. It's also coated on the outside for more noise dampening.

Notice it has NO holes. You would mount your faucet onto the counter next to the sink rather than through the sink itself.

It's stainless steel. They scratch. After 2 years of use, it's got a tonne of little scratches, which give it more of a brushed look than bright and shiny. I don't have any large obvious scratches.

Thank you for your response, amberm. Unfortunately, I cannot use this sink because it is undermount and the faucet has to be placed on the countertop. My countertop will not accommodate that.

I am hoping that others will reply.

Kraus makes topmount sinks too - I have a Kraus undermount single bowl sink and the quality is very good (and the way it came packaged you'd think they were sending the crown jewels).

I'm pretty sure it can be used in either a drop in or undermount configuration. I was planning to use it as a drop in next time because I chipped the stone on the edge of my sink in this house.

Thanks, hockeyfan. I will look at the Kraus sinks.

And, ambern, I have searched and cannot find that the Kraus sink you listed can be used as top mount or drop in.

I know nothing about the quality of the Ruvati sinks but there has been some feedback that they are good quality. They have a top mount sink with one hole.

Good luck!

Hi,Walnutcreek, our company has many stainless steel kitchen sinks, including US&Canada Series sinks, hand-made sinks, hope you will have the time to visit our website or contact me directly.
I'm from China, for 1 sink, we can send it to you by express.

Just thought I would let you know that we finally made a decision. The sink purchased is the Houzer Bellus Series Drop In Steel 22.000 33.000 Kitchen Sink BLS-3322 Brushed Satin. I think we are going to love this sink. I got the drop in because I have read too many complaints about the marble/granite/whatever around the edge of the undermount sink getting numerous dings and chips.

walnutcreek:

Dings and chips around undermount sinks are predominantly the fault of improper detailing at edges, not the fault of sinks.

Stainless steel scratches easily, but the scratches are easily removed:
