I'm hearing so many pros and cons on a granite sink. I just want to know, yes or no, should I get one?

I had a black granite sink in my previous house and really liked it. It didnt chip or anything like that. I did get hard water stains but that was because of the water, not the sink. I think they are really nice and would get one again. We bought it at Menards for $250 or so.

We have a black granite sink and we absolutely love it! We are actually moving soon and all the homes we are looking at seem to still have the traditional silver sink and we have already talked about replacing it with a granite one. We have not had any problems with chipping, but that is good information. We havent had a lighter colored one either, so I dont know how that would hold up, or if it would absorb the color of things (sauces, food particles ect) but the black has been great. We dont use non-toxic products for the most part in our home, so Im not sure if that makes a difference either.
Good luck.

Despite the fact that granite is a very hard stone, it can chip, and is subject to water erosion (although many years into the future. If you get a polished granite you may have to spend extra time polishing it to keep it shiny. Also consider the cost. if something does caust it to break, can you afford to replace it? I'm not saying a granite sink would be bad, but it might be inappropriate for a family with children who might carelessly drop a large heavy pan causing it to chip. I love granite myself because it is a very beautiful stone, I would just use it for countertops and/or backsplash. if you do get a granite sink, be very careful about the chemicals you use.
