Almost A 5-Star Rating
To get right to the point why a full 5-star rating is not warranted:
1. The Highpoint sink arrived with a huge gash in the box, which upon inspection inside, left a small part of the sound-deadening material damaged. I'll live with that, but disappointed at how it arrived. Sink itself was not dented or dinged.
2. The product did not include the installation template and I've had no luck finding the template online.
3. The coordinating piece (bottom grid) that Overstock shows on its website, at the bottom of the page for this Highpoint sink, does not even fit into the sink as it is too big. I asked myself why would they put a companion piece on the page for this sink when it doesn't even fit. Also, for this grid, I've had no luck online researching where to shop and buy the grid that fits this sink.
4. The white cutting board that comes with the sink is just barely long enough to fit into the ledge it is designed to sit on - my theory is that when using their cutting board and applying any pressure to the board, the board is going to bend or flex just enough to fall right into the sink and defeat the purpose it is designed for. Even a 1/16" to 1/8" longer board would have solved this completely.
A saving grace to the above issues may be at the HighPointCollection (dot com) website, under the FAQ section, I may be able to resolve the template and cutting board issue by contacting them under their limited warranty service.
The sink is solid and very attractive.
