I'm in search of a white farmhouse (front apron) sink for my new kitchen. Do you love yours? They are seem exaclty the same to me but the price varies so having a hard time deciding what to get.

| Beware: they get scratched and dirty very easily. Buy a tray for the bottom of the sink. |

| I was worried about the scratching so I had one built out of our granite. It looks great. |

| Get a stainless version of the same. AWESOME. |

| ELKAY has a great stainless version. Stainless always cleaner and more attractive than ceramic. ALWAYS. |

| It will chip your dishes. |

| No way - Elkay has not chipped a single one of our dishes. We have Wedgewood Nantucket Basket pattern (best dishes EVER) - none chip. Our Riedel wineglasses also don't chip and they aren't so tough. |

| My mom has always had a ceramic sink and never had any of the aforementioned issues in 30+ years. We have one too that dates to the mid 80s and no stains or scratches -- what do you people do to your sinks? |

I can tell you're a good person because you own expensive things! |

| If your sink isn't in an actual farmhouse, this style looks stupid. |

| We decided to go with the Kohler Whitehaven; hasn't been installed yet but it generally gets pretty good reviews and I've generally had good experiences with Kohler products. |

It was too expensive, so we got a 30 inch wide and 12 inch deep stainless steel instead.
Turned out the cabinet might not have been able to handle the weight anyway, so it worked out for us. |

We have a shaws and I hate it! It got chipped very early on and we are not hard on stuff by any stretch. DH wanted it. |
