This is a beautiful sink, if a bit expensive in black. Not sure why black is a $300 premium. However, something important to keep in mind is that this sink is not a complete rectangle. The dimensions slope towards the corners. So if you are buying this sink as a replacement for a 33" X 22" stainless or composite sink (which are most certainly going to be sitting in a completely rectangular hole) the Cape Dory is not going to fit correctly. It will sit in the hole, but there will be openings showing in the corners as the current hole will be too big in the corners for the sloping sides of the Cape Dory sink. I had to return the Cape Dory sink (no easy task) and order the Kohler Riverby sink, which is a complete rectangle and did fill the current sink whole completely.

      the sink is beautiful, but only for new construction -- it curves in on the corners so the 33x22 dimensions are not entirely accurate -- buyer beware if you are trying to fit into an existing hole in the counter

        Sink looks great!
        We were attracted to the sink because of its size and design. It looks great in our kitchen and was relatively easy to install. The sink was a good value and we are completely satisfied.

        This sink is beautiful. The quality is obviously very good and it's a really nice shade of white.

        Good cast iron sink
        This is a high quality cast iron sink. The only downside is its rounded shape, which makes it wider than the standard countertop hole, while leaving small gaps at the 4 corners. We managed to make it work, but with Silestone, it is a challenge. Also, the Home Depot web site description for the 3 hole white sink has the incorrect size listed, although clicking on other options gives the correct information. I double checked other sources, using the model number, before ordering.

        I like the large deep sink. It is perfect for my needs.
        The biscuit color was true to the color chart. It matches the granite countertops that were installed at the same time.

        Absolutely perfect!
        I wanted a sink roomy enough to soak large roasting pans or sheet pans and this is a huge improvement over the two bowl sink it replaced. I also purchased the bottom rack and cutting board. The bottom rack protects the finish and allows large items to drain and dry off the countertop. Th cutting board nests in the sink and slides back & forth. The sink is deep enough to place a bowl under one side of the board for the chopped veggies (or whatever) while trash can be scraped directly into the disposal on the other side. The appearance and performance are exactly what I wanted. Because of the weight and depth, installation requires two strong people to lift and position it in the countertop.

        BEWARE
        This is a beautiful sink BUT the sink does not fit a standard 33" x 22" cutout. I read the previous rewiew stating this. I should have heeded the info. We also were trying to replace a double bowl sink with this single bowl sink. No way could our contractor make this sink work. The 33" measurement is not a true 33 inches - the design of the sink tapers and therefore it does not fit the cutout.

          watch out on size
          Ordered this sink online and it took about two weeks to arrive. When I opened the box and measured the sink, it WAS NOT 33" x 22". I was planning to replace a 2 basin cast iron sink with this and was disappointed to find out that the actual outside dimensions were less that 33" by 22" at the center of the sink and tapered to even less than that at the corners. It looked like a good quality sink otherwise. If you are planning to cut this into a new countertop, it would be fine but is too small to fit a standard 33 x 22 sink cutout.
