Exactly. That's why I'm worried. Hopefully someone who has used them for a while can comment on this. Thanks for your responses!

Yes, the Swanstone is matte finish, not polished. They talk about using an abrasive cleanser to rub out stains. So I guess the question is - are they susceptible to staining? Are they high maintenance in that regard? I'd hate to dump coffee or blueberry pie or something like that into the...

Hi all. We're considering replacing our porcelain sink with a Swanstone sink in "Tahiti Terra" color - a light beige sort of composite. I've read some comments online about staining with this material, and would like your feedback and experience with the Swanstone. Good idea for a kitchen...

Thanks to all on this forum. I bought a 2-piece eco Drake II and installed it. Easy (apart from some tricky shimming needed), and all is well. WHAT an improvement!! A really good product.

Just an update on this situation. I decided to call a plumber to check this out. He pulled the toilet and found nothing at all in the trapway. Further investigation found nothing wrong in the drain or venting system. So the suspicion is that this Toto 703 has a defect in the trapway which...
