Is it difficult to keep the stainless steel surface attractive looking? Does it dent if something is dropped on it?

No it is not but this is not as well made as it could have been. The drawers often fall apart and require constant tightening of the screws. We do not overload and still have this issue.

I haven't seen any denting. However it does get dirty easily but can easily be cleaned. Great piece.

I own it! The wood isn't of a high quality and the top did dent and it always looks dirty

I haven't noticed any denting at all. It does get marked up easily with hand prints, etc, but that's easily remedied with Windex or Method cleaning spray. Love this piece. Very functional!

I did not have any dents or damage that I can remember. I bought and started using it last year and it still works great! I hope that helps.

It's stainless steel. I don't think there's much of anything that'll hurt it.

probably not its on the small side and i stopped using mine soon after buying it for that reason . .... generally speaking imho don't buy anything that is not all stainless steel.... i did that and it got badly discolored..( part aluminum ). non amazon purchase

I use mine outside as a potting bench. As far as dings and dents, I didn't have any when I got it and still don't have any. It's one of those things that gets better with age, I love it.

Yes it sits on my counter top at home. It doesn't look cheap if that's is what you mean. It isn't matte but isn't shiny either. Somewhere inbetween.

I have the grate that came with it in almost all the time, but I think it may scratch and show marks easily because it is so shiny. It is a much nicer SS sink than I have ever had before and I think it cleans very easily with sponge made for non-stick pans and dish detergent. I am so much happier with this sink than my old Corian sink that stained easily and I couldn't put hot pans in.

All stainless steel will scratch through use...it's part of the charm and character. I love my sink! Especially since it was so economical and comparable in quality to much more costly "brand" name sinks.

It is not polished like chrome, but it's not dull either, so somewhere inbetween. I found the finish attractive, but it's typically covered with towels and drying workout clothes, so you don't notice it that much.

I don't know how representative the piece I bought was, but mine came with dents and chips in it. I had to return the one I purchased because it was too dinged up to be used. I don't know if the surface itself is prone to chipping, but of course when the metal underneath is seriously dented, the surface coating will fall off! I recall years ago my parents had something that looked much the same, and it was tough & durable, so I was surprised by what I got. Hopefully mine was just a "one off" experience, but the thin and weak metal made me think that other people will also have bad luck.

we have a brushed stainless finish...not high shine... it goes nicely with our stainless stove and microwaves...overall, the faucet is great, a very towering/impressive appearance, easy to use, works flawlessly so far (1 month)...recommend this item without reservations

Are you sure you want a stainless steel sink? I cannot believe anyone would want a stainless steel sink (or stove, dishwasher or refrigerator) that shows everything, especially hard water deposits. I've used them at work and would never have one in my home. I love this faucet. The surface of the entire faucet is a smooth polished chrome finish, not a brushed dull finish. But it will still go well with a stainless steel sink. I have soap and lotion dispensers installed in my sink that I couldn't get in shiny chrome, but even the brushed finish that doesn't match still looks good.

Mine is polished stainless steel, and has been used daily for 3+ months. No problem has been found so far.

I have found that it scratches quite easily. I chose not to use the bottom rack because I like to be able to wash down the bottom with soap and a sponge. At first it bothered me, the scratches, but I've accepted them now and enjoy the sink and it still looks very nice. I've decided a sink is not going to look as great as the fridge, range, dishwasher, microwave because it is much more hard working. I would purchase again.

No. Magnets stick it, so its probably not stainless steel. Ive had mine for a month or 2, use it a few times each week to eat lunch at work. none of the black has not rubbed off and i havent seen and scrapes/scratches yet.

It's stainless steel, what can I say?, It's gonna be loud ! It's a very nice,sturdy and attractive ( in a commercial way ) table. As long as you go easy with it, you should have very little trouble with the table top. I have some fairly heavy duty consession machines sitting on mine.No noticable damage to the finish or dents of any kind. You will be happy with this item. Only one word of caution. If you decide to add a second shelf to this table, You are going to have a hard time finding an additional shelf that will match.

Yes. It's just a visual design thing. You don't feel them or anything. The surface is smooth and "flat". There is a clear "flat" surface over the "dents". Btw, I've had mine for a long time now and it still works great. It's nice and sturdy.
