It stains, it gets metal marks and looks like *you know what* if you are not super careful. If you don't mind that, then I guess it's ok.

My SO minds, and so it's not a functional sink for all the effort it takes to keep metal marks and stains out of it. It's just an expensive piece of art that uses far too much of my time and water compared to stainless.
