Review on Lordear 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Topmount Bar Sink - 15X20 Single Bowl Workstation With Ledge For Kitchen Or Prep Area by Timothy Henry

I have not seen any problems yet with the ss metal surface rusting. It is from China and they are known to lie about the material they really use. ebay is able to skirt responsibility for their deceptions. ( this may explain their sudden drop in share price after poor earnings - so many people are returning Chinese junk.) Only time will tell what others have been complaining about with the rust. This item is so hard to install that It is not worth taking it out again if it does rust. ( SO even though ebay has excellent return policies on this item the horse has already left the barn offering a bonanza for deceptive Chinese companies) The clips they supply are almost impossible to install. So most people just allow gravity to keep it in place. The drain is real cheap as well as it leaked heavily with the foam ring and only after several attempts with lots of plumbers putty ( sans foam ring) was I able to get a watertight seal. They simply do not provide enough threads for the large collar to grip onto providing a good clamp. The thread is so sloppy that it will slip across the threads too-- only after several attempts to get a solid seating. The price was simply too good to pass up and with boasts of 16 gauge I was sucked in but as the old saying goes. One warning that has nothing to do with the quality of the manufacturing: be carful when in stalling the edges are very hard and because it is bulky you will damage any thing that it comes in contact with. I still recommend getting a better stateside manufacturer like Moen which will not be deceptive and much more standardized installation. The good news is that the accessories are very nice. The rack that goes on the bottom is a nice touch because it will protect the surface from scratching but it requires you to fill the sink up higher in order to get a nice volume of water in order to wash dishes in a soap bath.
