: Bonnie, there is also a new product that is a porcelin sink over a
: plastic composite base.....it is made by American Standard (I believe
: Home Depot sells carrys it) I installed one in my kitchen, it looks just
: like porcelin (because it is) but will never rust and was very easy to
: install (it is light not like cast iron) It does chip (just like
: porcelin) but with some care and some rubber sink protectors, it is easy
: to keep nice.   I also have the repair kit for it and have only had to
: use it once in 2.5 years as a clutzy guest dropped a large pot on the
: corner of it and chipped off a 1/8" piece....used repair kit and you'd
: never now where the fix is unless I point it out to you.

: The corian will stain....so I don't know what's better or worse, a stain
: or a chip.........next time I replace the sink, I will probably go with
: Stainless Steel......they are getting better and better looking.......no
: hastle, easy to keep clean.....good luck.
