How durable is it ? Does it scratch, mar, peal off or tear easily once on the countertop? Does the finish get dull from cleaning products, age?

So far it has been holding up. You do not need to use cleaning products. Tap water with a sponge is all you need. Very easy to clean

It is very durable. It looks as good as it did the day it was installed. The finish hasn't dull at all. I highly recommend this product. I am very satisified wit the product.

I would not recommend cleaning this product with anything other than dish soap and water, as per product instruction.Where my soap dispenser sits on my countertop and even the TINIEST amount of water was trapped beneath, upon normal gentle cleaning the finish came off all the way down to my boring white countertop. Finish does not come off, however, with standing water left by wayward guests that don't understand how delicate my countertop is.Hope this helps

I've had mine installed for over a year and it still looks great. If you use a lot it may get a little dull in places, however, overall I give it 5 stars. I put mine on my counter top around my sink and on a bar. It still looks great. Just remember to not put anything really hot on it or scrub with harsh chemicals. I have used clorox cleanups on mine and still looks good. I love mine and will redo when needed.

Ours gets daily use and I've been pleased. No scratches or stains. We're happy with it!

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

I have not noticed scratches as it is stainless. I do not throw pots and pans into the sink but I expect to see normal wear from daily use. Bottom grid keeps the sink bottom looking like new.

I've had mine since December of 2011 and it's still my go-to pan for most things. I've also used metal utensils on it quite often and it still doesn't have any scratches in the non-stick coating.

We haven't used it much, so I don't know if the coating will wear off. The pan is fairly easy to clean but the rack is more difficult. It takes a fair amount of scrubbing, but does clean with some effort.

It's very durable. I've had this product in my last home and current home and the finish looks just as good as the day I installed it.

I find that this product will make the counters look fabulous when you first put it on. It fills in all the little scratches to give a smooth and shiny appearance. However, when you wipe the counters later with a wet cloth to clean, the finish dulls. I love the product, however, and even if the shine doesn't last too long, it really makes the counters look fantastic. One thing you might try for the water marks is very fine steel wool.

I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners. They're small and hard to see but they're there which is frustrating. Could've been the way the sink was installed or how the countertop was laid over it. We have quartz counters so they're quite heavy. It also seems to stain pretty easily - if I have a pot or pan in the sink for a day or two I find I'm scrubbing extra hard to remove any ring it left. In hindsight - as much as I love the sink and this type of sinks - I'd probably not go with an apron front sink, and stick with an undermount stainless steel or granite sink! Good luck. I am sure you'll be happy with either choice! I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners.

I've only had mine for about a year and a half. In that time I've used it probably about 10 times. Other than being a little dirty here and there I can't see any signs of wear and tear on this thing. It's been great!

It does scratch some, nothing really bad. It comes with grates and I keep them in. I do wish I had gone for the single sink, because large pots fit but they can be snug and that is what causes my scratches.

It will last for many years if you don't wash it in the dishwasher. My previous one was still going strong but someone "borrowed" it. It is much more durable than maple. It doesn't seem to take knife marks like other hardwood cutting boards.

Hello, I have the cabinet for 1.5 years and it's holding perfectly. Still no corrosion or any other visible damage. I love it. For me it was a great investment. Is big so measure well. Good luck!

I have had one for over 6 months and use it daily. I haven't seen any scratch marks on my knives and I use it for all my really good ones. The one thing that I did find is that you need to make sure that anything that you put in is really dry otherwise you get rust spots on the knives from the magnets. I love it!

My color has not even begun to chip or scratch. And I've used it everyday for two seasons. But I don't put it in the dishwasher. I hand wash it.

I have not had mine over a year BUT I am replying because I love mine. Even if it only lasted 6 months, I would buy it again. It keeps the kitchen looking nice and tidy.

Hi Kimberly,This was a Christmas gift for my mother, so I bought it and shipped it to her clear across the country. I did, however, see it over the Christmas holidays and can tell you that she has very expensive granite countertops and had no problem whatsoever with the carousel scratching or doing any sort of damage whatsoever. Do not be scared of this purchase. Promise.
