My husband and I had our kitchen remodeled 1999 and we purchased a Americast double sink. I has several chip places and I was so disappointed because I did not expect chipping (that quick). Today I had my husband replace my sprayer hose and when he got under the sink he noticed a large crack on the bottom of my sink also we have just recently begun to have leaks also. When I picked out my sink I thought that we would have it for years to come. I grew up near an American Standard plant in Louisville, Ky so my first choice was an American Standard sink. Not sure if I will ever choose an American Standard sink. I do love the white shiny sinks but I will have to rethink my choices. It would please me to have American Standard stand behind their products and help me with my (large cracked sink that also leaks). Thank you
