I bought this sink while remodeling my kitchen, it seemed easy to install (the contractor did it). It’s quiet. This is my first farm house sink so not sure how others drain but this sink seems flatter than my other sink so I have to lift up the bottom rack to get all debris to drain but just a minor issue. All in all, I love it. It’s beautiful and I get lots of compliments. People love the roll up draining rack and cutting board accessories.
