Beware of the black finish.
Installed this sink and it looked great, as long as you don't use it. This sink is "blackened" only a few thousandths of an inch into the surface of a not very durable white plastic substrate. The least little scratch in the blackened interior or the sink rim appears bright white. Forget about cleaning a grill grate or anything metal in the sink, as the finish scratches off very easily leaving white lines everywhere that the black coating inevitably scratches off. And, get this. My wife just soaked a quilt in a mild solution of very cold water and oxy-clean, for about two hours. The heirloom quilt came out fine, but the black finish in the sink permanently turned gray with a very obvious line where the water line was. Black above the line, gray below the water line.
We did not abuse the sink. I have 50 year old fly rods in perfect condition and my wife is as meticulous with her care of the home as any person can be. The sink holds water, but as far as cosmetic durability goes, not so much.
