How heavy is this sink? What is the brand name?

I believe it is 16 gauge stainless steel (or whatever the highest end stainless sink models use). It is made very well. I have seen this sink in many places for sale which leads me to believe it it made by an independent manufacturer who puts various names on the sink. The name on ours is Ariel.

Hello, I recommend you call the The Swan Corporation, 800-325-7008 - The folks there at the factory have probably heard of everything, including something similar to your experience. They can best answer your question. These are great sinks and very durable.

This sink (the whole Sterling line of sinks) is made by Kohler. If you go their website, the McAllister is listed as 18 gauge...(search their site by Sterling and you will find it and specs..i think the next one listed is 20 gauge). I am very happy with it but it does get scratched so use a rack to protect it from metal pans. They sell ones designed for it but i got a cheap small one for just one side

Greetings, I purchased the sink one year ago for a restaurant bathroom. It is small with limited space. The petite sink weighs roughly 8 pounds with bowl dimensions of roughly 10" bowl width. Please note the sink is a corner unit having an oval shape. Hope this helps!!

I purchased this sink about 6 months ago. I'm not sure what the exact weight is, but I do not think it weighs 41 lbs. 17.4 sounds more realistic!

The sink is a quality sink. No splash problems. It was installed in my vacation home, otherwise I would measure it for you. You can see it at www.Homeaway.com #3619351.

Slow sink, but not a ton. It's one of the firmer foams I've slept on/tried, but very happy with it have had it for 3-4 months now. Definitely not a quick sink-in.

Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink. This is not the highest end stainless steel--a magnet can stick to it so it is not the highest grade. Having said that, after 18 months of heavy use, there are no dents in it. It is moderately scratch resistant. In terms of your question, hard for me to say as I have a water softener. But probably would stain easily with hard water. For me it was a question of cost. A higher quality Kohler stainless sink was another $300. For the money I am happy with this sink. Please let me know what you decide and how it works out for you. Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink.

The sink is 18 gauge, but has a padded and stone guard undercoated insulation over a rubber pad which reduces noise. Very quiet sink.

it drains OK - I do with it drained better, but I really have nothing to compare it to. It is the only single bowl sink we have had. We are looking to build a new home and probably will not buy this sink again, and when we purchased it, they cost more than they sell for now. My point is I would rather spend more to try a new one than buy this one at a lower price.

It doesn't list the brand, but yes, just like in the photo. Very pretty and works fine. The plumber didn't use the spout thing underneath), but he was happy with the quality of the faucet. It was prettier than the more expensive Kohler faucets I had ordered, so those went back! We liked this vanity so much that we ordered a larger 72 inch for the master bath. Great quality.

I was dissatisfied with both the construction and condition of this sink when it arrived. I felt the construction was too light weight and the many mounting parts were missing from the packaging. This item must have been sold and shipped to someone else and then returned. I too returned it. I know this does not answer your specific question, but perhaps it helps anyway.

The bowl is seems very strong and thick. Of course we have not had an incident of something falling on it. This sink is beautiful, modern yet rustic. We have it in our cabin.

No, there is a weight below the sink. This faucet did not last 6 months before the hose inside ruptured and it was unfixable. I cannot recommend it.

i cant remember exactly but it wasn't much bigger than the sink itself, not much packaging

We installed this model as our laundry room sink a few months ago and it is working well. Aside from the size (not too big) and the depth, it is very sturdy. It was very well-packed for shipping and came with no damage.The legs are metal and they are gray ... coated (not sure if powder coated or painted) to a uniform light gray color. On the bottom, curved to the inside are holes so that you can screw it into the floor (which we did.) I hope that helps!
