Is the sink so patterned that it needs to be placed on plain top...I am using granite

No, mine is on a simply patterned tile surface and it looks great. I think it would look fine on granite. It has patterned areas in a darker background.

My granite top is a lighter tone but not solid it has oranges, tans, browns, blacks and flecks of gold. I think the dark tone sets great against my countertop.

No - you can use granite. I'm sure every sink is different in its pattern, but we have a granite counter top and it looks fantastic. We actually turned our sink so it looks like a diamond shape rather than a square and installed the faucent on the upper right side, which also gives it a unique look. We get lots of compliments.

Actually I returned this item as it was not square completely, bad mold to be exact and order a round one, it was fine and no the top does not need to be completely flat except were the bowl sits on the top for it to seal correctly!

No it's a dark bronze look. It will look great on granite. FYI I clean it with pledge and it looks brand new every time.

I put mine on a solid color countertop because I thought the granite would be too busy and compete with the beauty of the sink. I also had a round mirror woth a 6" hammered copper frame around it that I used for a vanity mirror over it that is gorgeous with this sink. Hope that helps.

They sent me another sink and this one was fine. I saw similar sinks for sale (not by Nantucket, but same style undermount) when I chose my granite, and those were not completely on center either. It's the kind of detail that really bothers me, but most people wouldn't notice that something is off by 1/2 inch or so. Sink is nice otherwise. Happy with the replacement sink they sent me for no additional fee.

The Belle Foret porcelain sink (beautiful, and durable) has a smooth edge and top (think of it as being like a box with no lid or other detail on the upper edge). It would be possible to make that smooth edge even with the counter top, then seal the small space between counter top and sink edge with silicone or grout. It has no lip as would be true with a drop in sink. We chose to install below the counter top and like the look very much. To my taste it would look unusual to have the sink and the counter top at the same level with a small space containing sealant or grout.

I believe this is an undermount sink. We installed it under the granite countertop.

The sink does come with a template. Be aware that the template is the size of the sink, inside. You will need to allow for the granite to over lap or leave a ledge as you prefer. This is a great sink.

Yes in fact we just installed the sink and put the facet into the granite behind the sink and it looks beautiful!!

Mine is mounted directly to my granite countertop. I didn't use a base plate and think it shows the faucet off so much more.

We live in Arizona, and the water is very hard here. Obviously, if you leave the water sit and dry, it will form a spot. This sink has a textured finish inside and the outside edges are somewhat shiny. I keep a clean, dry towel that I use to wipe up any water before it dries. So far, the finish is excellent. I am very happy with this sink.

Mine sink is granite gray dark. Works well. It is white going on wash off thoroughly. Four years later no stains.

We placed it on a mostly black granite. The granite has some browns and whites scattered throughout, but the sink really pops! The brown of the sink pulls out the brown in the granite, and it looks very nice.

The back is rough so you would have to make the counter top flush with the top of the sink if the backside is going to be exposed. I would not recommend for an island or exposed back for a raised setting. It is a beautiful sink!

What do you mean, How the sink is? It's great. It sits on top of my granite countertop as a vessel sink. It is white and cleans up well. My plumber put some silicone around the edge for leaking but I didn't like the look and I don't think you need it so I wiped off a much as possible. The drain is large. I like it. Hope that helps.

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it. I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason. I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

Make sure you do a lay out of the hole and circumference of the sink first tha will determine where the faucet will be position, I am a granite guy I've done this numerous times, lay out is the trick.

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.

I would guess it depends on the countertopI installed a granite countertop with an undermount sink
