Is this a seamless sink, i.e. no welding? Why are there crease lines leading to the drain? I don't see crease lines on other comparable sinks.

Yes, seamless. The "lines" leading to the drain are just small channels to help the sink drain more efficiently. All good sinks like this have them. Sometimes they just don't show up in the online pictures.

Yes it is seamless. The lines you see are draining channels (not very noticeable) and they are actually an added design feature so that water goes into the drain instead of having the sink bottom be 100% flat (helps limit water stains).

The flange is above the sink. Our Blanco sink has a recessed area that the flange rests in so it's basically flush with the rest of the surface. Looks clean.

I wish I could help you, but it was a few months ago, and I don't recall the details of the connection. It must have been the same size since the only difficulty of installation I remember was the typical one of working on my back under the sink tightening the fixture. It is remarkable that a plumbing supply retailer wouldn't have all possible reducers for various plastic hose transitions. I would try other plumbing supplies outlets. Perhaps you could "google" the problem and see whether others may have encountered and solved it. I hope you are successful. It is an excellent faucet -- high quality. Again, sorry, but good luck.

I did not have a problem with the supply lines, my problem was with the drain pipe coming out of the wall and lining up with the drain on the sink. Our pedestal went right to the corner and because of the size of the counter it did not line up . I fixed that by getting a flexible drain pipe coming down from the bowl and was able to move it over to line up with the drain pipe. Also it was hard to work on the connections because I could not get a good view of the back since it was up against the wall and it was a tight spot. It should have been a twenty minute job that took a lot longer.

I don't recall. We anticipated a issue since we changed increased the sink depth which changes where the drain goes. It is a excellent piece.

If I remember correctly, there isn't any drain included. I purchased a moen pop-up drain to go with my faucet. This sink has an overflow hole so you want to make sure you get one that is compatible with that. I found that between reading the product info and talking to moen customer service I was able to pick out all the right parts online.

Yes, I'm really happy with this sink. Never had a problem with it not draining completely.

I haven't had any issues with my sink rail to date. I often place large broiling pans, cookie sheets, etc. into the sink, cringe because I forget it's there and find that it hasn't been disturbed or dislodged. I'm very pleased with it so far.

This particular sink has the off set drain. There's not any problems with drainage that I can see. Works just like a normal center drain.

I have this sink and have no issues with "standing water", however that being said, if you want to save water, you may be disappointed because it takes more water to effectively clean or chase food down the drain. I use a dish brush to sweep food towards the drain and the faucet we have can be pulled down to help out. But as for water not draining, I've not had an issue. Maybe those that are complaining didn't bother to level their sink cabinet?

I'm sorry - I haven't installed yet but will go through the box again - I believe there was a diagram, etc. and will let you know. The sink is beautiful by the way.

I've had this sink for 2-3 years now and it looks as good as the day it was installed. I occasionally use BarKeeper's Friend. Also I wipe it down with mineral oil. That's it! I don't do it often-maybe only once every several months. I do it when the sink starts to look a little dull. I believe the sink is a quartz composite. So far I've not been sorry. I like it so much better than the old stainless that we had.

Love this sink. I do not find that it scratches any easier than any other stainless sink I have seen!

When this sink was orginally installed by the plumber they left it sitting on the granite. It moved fairly easily. I called my plumber back because I was worried that the sink moving would damage the pipes. He applied clear silicone caulk to hold it in place. It does not move at all and you cannot see the caulk.

As the others have mentioned, it is neither. I would compare the finish to that of a laundry utility sink. Very dull. I actually returned it because of how drab the finish was and bought a cast iron Kohler which is beautiful!!

The drains on each side are centered from side to mid-sink, but are closer to the back of the sink (faucet) than to the front. We haven't had to clean the sink except with soap and water. It is extremely durable, and stays clean on it's own. I'm sure if you had a lot of dirty pans and dishes, you might need to deep clean it at some point. From Elkay: "Most dirt and stains: Use soapy water and a sponge, towel dry. Water marks: Wipe with damp cloth and towel dry. Difficult stains: 50/50 water/bleach solution or non-abrasive cleaners. Follow cleaning manufacturer's instructions, rinse thoroughly, towel dry. Great sink!

That is correct. We've had ours almost 3 years now and have had absolutely no problems with this sink. Known others who had one for a lot longer period than us and never had a problem.
