Some of the reviews here are critical of the sink for being easily scratched. What has your experience been?

Basically any stainless sink or priceline surface sink are easily scratch. This sink does have a surface facing the person who is using it. If you have a big belt buckle, lose the belt. If you want the farmhouse look, you probably need to live with it.

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

It does mark, but nothing that is bad. I keep the racks in the bottom all the time.

Going on two years with our sink and the scratches are minor. Not what I'd consider an issue. We really love the sink. We do use the grates in the bottom most of the time.

After a year of use I have one scratch on the side I am having trouble removing. I will contact their website to see what they recommend. That is the only scratch I have that I have not been able to remove.

I have not noticed this issue at all. We have had our sink for three years, and although it no longer looks brand new, I don't notice any big scratches. This may partly be because we always leave the grates (that came with the sink) in place on the bottom, and I am sure they help prevent scratches since nothing really touches the bottom of the sink.

I don't have any scratches in mine but I keep the grates down all the time. My sink get used a lot too!

I have some scratches but nothing extreme. I still love the sink and would recommend it. For the price and the quality, its a great product

As more time passes and more dishes pans have been in contact with it there are more scratches.

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 does not matter since you no one should bother buying this sink. Look elsewhere. Mine arrived dented and scratched so many times I gave up finally, paid up and am much happier.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

I have not had an issue with mine. i do a good cleaning a few times per week. I love the sink and recommend it!

I've only had it for about 1 month, but haven't had any problems. The plumber that installed it did scratch a part of the shower arm with the pliers he was using, so I would recommend putting a cloth between or something. Other than that, the finish certainly looks sturdy.

We have a water softner due to hard water with iron. There are no hard water spots, but there is some scratching and dulling of finish. Overall pleased with sink. Love the wide sink. We use a plastic dish pan to wash most items, but have the wide sink for large items.

Daily use sink got some water & scratch marks, I just use dish soap & green Scotch pad then wipe dry.still very happy with this sink, reasonable price & other pricy SS sinks not as deep as this one.

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.

Hi! I have not noticed any scratches on my sink, although it is not a very new one. And I have looked for the "metal feet" and they do not look like metal to me. I am very happy with them, event though I would have liked it they were a little less flexible. But so far, so good!

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

We have found it to be easy to clean and we love the quality and look of the sink. The grate that comes with sink to protect the finish is nice but I am thinking of getting rid of it because it can make cleanup a bit trickier. Overall it is a great sink for the price!

I do not have any chips or scratches. About twice a week I wipe the sink down with an ArmourAll wipe and the sink goes back to its original sheen.

I have the green, i have plenty of scratches, but its not down the metal yet. Its a lighter green where it is scrathed. As far a easily scratched, not so much. My stove top is cast iron, so i knew it would scratch no matter what. And i also use them in the dishwasher. They hold upalot better than most sets ive owned

So far we have had no problems with scratching, When using my cast iron pans I do use extra caution and only use them on low and medium temps. The stainless steel pots and pans which we use most have not left any scratches or marks. Any splashes or spill overs have been easy to clean with Weiman Glass top cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Hope this helps

I haven't experience it so far but I can only see that happening if they are letting the water sit. It is rare went stainless steel rust. Its a beautiful sink and worth the money.
