Review on Handmade Single Bowl 304 Stainless Steel Topmount Kitchen Sink With Strainer - ROVATE 22X18 Inch, R10 Design by Brian Graham

When this arrived, the box was mangled. I'm not sure if someone else previously returned it in that shape or what, but it never should have been sent to me in that condition. Upon receipt, I opened the box to check out the sink and make sure it wasn't dented or scratched. It wasn't. I thought that meant it was fine. It wasn't until we installed it that we could see it didn't sit flat in the opening in the counter. It must have gotten tweaked when the box was damaged so it wobbled in the counter's opening. Extremely frustrating, especially because I only had my dad here for that one day to help me with it (which is why I checked for obvious damage upon receiving it--I would have had time to switch it for another one before he arrived if I knew it was damaged). So we have to deal with it and I will always be annoyed by the beautiful sink that doesn't sit flat. I'm going to have to put a lot of silicone underneath part of the lip to fill the gap so I'm not always fighting water getting under there or cutting myself on the metal edge. If it weren't damaged, I'd give it 5 stars but since it doesn't sit flat, and that's kind of a big deal with a sink, I'm giving it 3. I assume the damage came from the messed up box, but it's also possible it was made that way, which would really stink and mean there was a quality issue in the fabrication. At this point I'm just blaming the issue on whoever let it leave the warehouse with a box looking the way it did. (The counter we were using is made of Corian and absolutely flat. Just to be sure the sink was the problem, we set it upside down on a flat floor, and it wobbled just the same. So it was definitely misshapen.)
