We have always had a double-bowl sink and that's what we like, for
washing & rinsing dishes among other things. In the past it was
stainless steel, as deep as possible. The current sink is one of
those composite jobs that looks sort of like black granite. Doesn't
chip like porcelain, but it does appear to have stained (rust)
somewhat over the last five or six years. Still, it's nice and solid
and deep. We've no desire to change.

Ours has, and I personally prefer, separate hot and cold handles
rather than the single lift handle. And the faucet itself is a tall
gooseneck so that we can put almost anything underneath it; a tall
bucket, a big stockpot, whatever.

Best -- Terry
