The bottom of the ceramic sink is not flat (seems curved purposely) so that there is a gap on a countertop. Have you experienced this or is this a quality issue?

slight inward curve at the bottom of the sink does not create a quality issue. I'm sure this is done for aesthetics. a clear sealer between the countertop and sink can be used if you choose

We ordered two of these sinks and the bottoms were nice and flat. Love the sinks and faucets.

The bottom of the sink I purchased seemed flat and mounted perfectly on the vanity top.

sorry but I returned the sinks as they were too big. When I did put it on my counter, I did not notice a curve.

The sink is flat at the bottom and it's a perfect flush fit with the countertop.

The hole that we drilled is very small. Only enough for the drain. The curve has not posed any problem. No leaking as far as I know.

The bottom is smooth but indented so that the center does not make contact with the countertop. The edges are the slightest bit rough, like raw ceramic. This should not be a problem on granite, but if you're concerned, a few stick-on felt pads should do the trick.

This is a great sink! As mentioned, I am not sure the back is finished, but the sides are. Also, because it is hand made, the sinks are not always completely square and level. (There may be very small differences.) Enclosing the back and sides of the sink allow for adjustment, but standing alone might make the differences more obvious.

The bottom of mine is NOT flat. It has some raised areas that actually make it cook very evenly. There is a small square in the center and long tube shaped legs that run about 6 inches acress the bollom.

Did you use the metal washer on the bottom of the sink that sits on the countertop...i have clear caulk on the bottom of of the sink between the washer and the sink so it doesn't move....

My plumber siliconed the base to granite several times, but the seal always breaks and it leaks profusely. Paid more to the plumber compared to cost of sink. Not sure how to fix it anymore.

There will be a slight gap - the sides of the sink look vertical, but when I put a wide ruler against the sink and counter, there is a 2-3 mm space at the bottom, narrowing up to the top edge of the sink, this would be doubled with two sinks together so there will be a gap. Also, the top is slightly rounded, so you'd have a little crack at the top where water might sit. If that were the only issue I'd say go for it, as it's a great sink, but with the space at the bottom I don't think you'd want to use two together.

mine is a work in progress as well. I have the sinks and the granite installer is working around them.

Ours is the same and I can assume it has to do with a potential tilt in the bottom of the sink so it stays flat. Our sink is pretty flat all across and the protector sits at a slight angle but it does not interfere with anything that has to be done. It is a sink protector and it does a good job for that.

The sink has a dull or Matte finish. It looks great. While we haven't had the sink very long, I am very happy with the purchase.

The sink edge is flat. It has a slight edge above the counter but is less than a normal drop in sink. It is as close as you get to the feel and look of an under counter sink.

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

As you can see, the shape is not usual. We had our counter top cut specially to fit this sink. You could measure your existing one and compare with the dimensions of this one.

The section in the middle that divides the two sinks is lower than the outer edges. If that's what you mean, then there's no issue. If you're saying the outer edge of the left sink is at a different height than the outer edge of the right sink, than yeah, something is wrong.

Not sure if that is normal but mine did the same thing. I had to make sure it was pushed back and not near the edge of my countertop. I since upgraded to the Zojirushi.

I am not at the location presently where the sink is, but as I recall, the overflow is in the front near the top - so you don't even see it. The sink worked out beautifully for us. We had a small space and could not put in a conventional sink. BTW, it is great because the sides are high so that the water does not splash out, which some vessel sinks tend to do. I believe it blends in perfectly with the porcelain. We are very happy with it.

I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners. They're small and hard to see but they're there which is frustrating. Could've been the way the sink was installed or how the countertop was laid over it. We have quartz counters so they're quite heavy. It also seems to stain pretty easily - if I have a pot or pan in the sink for a day or two I find I'm scrubbing extra hard to remove any ring it left. In hindsight - as much as I love the sink and this type of sinks - I'd probably not go with an apron front sink, and stick with an undermount stainless steel or granite sink! Good luck. I am sure you'll be happy with either choice! I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners.
