You now expect to wash in this sink and for it to remain as shiny as you see it in the photo. That's what I thought too. The truth is that there are marks left after each use and it gives you the impression that it is permanently dirty.

Compared to the Franke sink I have in another kitchen, the latter is superior in terms of the marks it leaves. And even in the Franke sink, it does leave marks, but much fewer. The thing is, I have had it for 23 years and if I remember correctly, it was installed by the building constructor. So I didn't have the opportunity to buy the same one.

The representation of the sink is unreliable. While I ordered this specific sink for its dimensions (to replace the old one without cutting the countertop), the store that I ordered it from sent it to me as they received it from the representation. And they (the representation) sent me a larger one and I had to cut it. Luckily, they didn't send me a smaller one. I mention that it is the representation's fault because when I complained, the company didn't know that it was a different model with different dimensions and informed me that it was not their mistake but the representation's.
