Review on Drop Sink Kitchen - Sarlai 25" X 22" Stainless Steel Drop In Kitchen Sink 16 Gauge Round Corner Single Bowl Sink Basin RV Bar Prep Sink by Gustavo Mathew

1 Year, 7 Month Update:No regrets, this is a fantastic sink. As mentioned below in my earlier review, we have very hard water. Still no spots. We still have all the original accessories and all have held up great - including the stainless steel metal grate and the drying rack. No rusting and both look new even though they're used every day.I did scratch the bottom of the sink. I had taken out the metal grate and was furiously scrubbing a ceramic pan, forgetting that I didn't have the grate. Left a long scratch at the bottom but it's only visible in when looking from a specific angle under the right lighting conditions.There are also some light scratches along the edge of inside front of the sink from daily use. Again, not easy to see and definitely not a reason to not buy this. Just keep in mind that you can scratch deep enough to get to the silver metal. I recommend leaving the grate in.We do throw the grate into the dishwasher about once a month to clean off anything that we don't get during routine hand cleaning.Otherwise no dents or dings. I'm also amazed how there are no scratches along the top rim of the sink. This thing is built very well.My wife and I are still VERY satisfied and love all the compliments we get when people see it. Highly recommended!1 Month Update:Still loving this sink. It's held up very well - no issues at all. We have hard water so sometimes it spots a little but very easy to clean off with a paper towel - no hard scrubbing.Previous I never thought I'd ever be doing a review for a sink but I also never thought I'd actually love one either. It's only been in for a few days, but we love the size, accessories, and the overall quality. The sink is solid with excellent sound dampening, it's well constructed, not too heavy, has great drainage, and it's beautiful to look at.My wife and I are in the process of remodeling and realized our sink was bringing the whole kitchen down. We had very few requirements but we agreed we wanted a darker sink to match our black stainless appliances. After a ton of research we settled on the Sarlai 33" drop-in in gunmetal black. It matches everything perfectly. (As a side note, we also had looked at black granite epoxy sinks, but after seeing how much care they require, we decided against it.)Shipping was fantastic. The sink came in a cardboard box, lined with 1/4" plywood. Foam was placed around each corner of the sink which was wrapped in a nice cloth bag. All the accessories and book were wrapped in plastic and tucked inside the sink nicely.Installation was very straight forward. I'm not a plumber but I'm pretty handy so I ended up just doing it myself. I didn't have to make any modifications to the counter top since the original sink was also 33". The package included clips that go all the way around the sink. I placed a bead of silicone around the edge and dropped the sink in. Clips screwed in nicely - no issues and the sink made a really tight seal. I had read reviews of other stainless steal sinks and how they can be a little warped - no warping on this one at all; nice and flat!Because we have a garbage disposal, the included drain wouldn't work. So I ordered the Allwen black kitchen sink drain (see link below). It matches PERFECTLY. After some acrobatics and a little plumbers putty, everything went smooth.One other thing I did for myself is I attached the faucet and air switch BEFORE I placed the sink in. That made a HUGE difference.Drain - Alwen: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838VV4V4Faucet - Delta Essa - Black Matte: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012I44QM8Air Switch - SINKINGDOM - Black Matte: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LBYGCQFDisposal: InSinkErator - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IB4NIDW
