Not really. Easily subject to dents and scratches. Go with an 18 gauge. My opinion a 20 gauge and 22 gauge is more like a builders model for new homes. When i built homes had four options for homeowners to choose from based on cost. 16 gauge to 22 gauge. Always explained the pros and cons.

Many home improvement choices recommend 16 to 18 gauges as a good choice for a stainless steel kitchen sink.
