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.

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 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.

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

Tee hee.

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

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

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

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.
