We've been annoyed with washing pots & pans in double basin sinks for years. I couldn't fit a pan (with handle) flat on the bottom to scrub (or soak if needed). The sink was shallow (as deep at my hand) and with pans at an angle, the water tended to hit in just the perfect way for me to get splashed. The silicone sealant of the undermounted sink was nasty when we moved in from the previous owner's probably dealing with the same splash back issues. I measured the hole in our granite countertop and then researched online sinks that would fit into our existing hole. Many manufacturers are vague about hole size requirements because a "cardboard template is included". Templates are great for new installation but not replacements. Anyway, the detailed dimensions of this sink made me believe it would fit. Plus, this sink comes with the steel bottom rack, colander, cutting board and folding dish rack. Competitors often include just two of those accessories, not all. I was off by about 1/8" because of the placement of the internal clip brackets vs the curved corners of my hole. Each bracket has extra metal to each side of the hole that is larger than 1/8". I'm including a picture to show the location of the four corner brackets that were problematic for us. Minor adjusts with a Dremil are far easier than major cuts so we made it work. Within a few hours, the old sink was out & new sink was in. After filling up with water & waiting for sealant to dry & retighten clips, we could finally use the sink! (Tip: plan ahead for meals so you won't need the sink to clean up) Within the first day of use, here are things I noticed: 1) Colander: when I came in from the garden with produce, I was able to dump it in the colander and wash right away. How convenient! 2) Dish drying rack: We won't use this to dry dishes as we have an over-the-sink drying rack. However, my husband used this folding rack to support thawing meat. 3) Bottom sink rack: I wasn't sure if I wanted this because I'm sure it will get messy any gross over time, but it's great! My daughter made a smoothie and put the blended top in the sink to soak. It didn't fall over! The bottom of the sink isn't level for water drainage purposes, but this rack is level. The blender full of water didn't tip over! I washed out our rice cooker and when I poured out the pot full of rice bits, the water draining didn't knock over the blender, and little bit of rice didn't get caught behind other things in the sink. This was profound. Like it really changed my perception of how things work. 4) Decorative drain cover: we have a garbage disposal but I can still use the decorative drain cover. This cover eases my concerns about dropping a fork down the disposal. Thank you. 5) cutting board. I don't have a lot of counter space to work so it's really nice to be able to cut over the sink area. 6) Depth: this sink is at least 3" deeper than the old sink. This makes a huge difference in capacity and less water sprays back. The corner are less rounded which means even more usable space while still being easy to clean. The only thing I wish for is another hole for a soap dispenser. Our 2nd hole is being used for the dishwasher air-gap.

Sturdy, well made and attractive. Measurements are as described. Templates included to assist in counter top cutout. Internally sloped so water drains appropriately, no ponding. Great attachments provided. 16 gauge so it does sound tinny.

Let’s face it. You want a Kholer Workstation sink, but you don’t want to shell out the money for it. So you found this on Amazon and got enamored by the reviews (and the fact that it is a top-mount sink. Who trusts undermount sinks anyway?) Well, let me tell you. This is the best sink in the whole world. It isn’t a perfect sink, but you would be pressed to find anything like it in this price range. We’ve had this sink for about four months. It came nicely packaged with several accessories. That’s a great place to start, the accessories: Cutting Board: It looked really nice when we got it, but it cracked in a corner about one month in. I didn’t bother telling the seller about it because it works. I’ll likely replace it with a custom board with similar dimensions. The Rolling Rack: We have a dish rack, so we rarely use it. But it works great when we’ve made a big meal and need extra drying space. I can also see it used as a minimal rack for a kitchen. The Kholer sink probably has this sink beat in this area, because you can hide the rack in the sink. Doesn’t matter much when you’re just looking for a sink for function. The sink grates: I hate the way they look. I hate cleaning it. But it’s really nice to have the bottom of your sink look untouched. If you wash your hair in your sink, please take the grates out. Strands of hair can easily coil around the grates. The Install: We had a Plummer install this sink. They looked at it. They looked at everything that came in the box, and they installed it without asking a single question. Great. And I never worry about it falling through my kitchen cabinets because it’s a top mount sink. The kitchen sink comes with a cut-out template for your countertops. We didn’t use it and had the person installing the countertops to measure the actual sink. So I can’t comment on the accuracy of the template. If you’re wondering about cabinets, yes this sink fits in a 36-inch IKEA cabinet. That was my top concern. There were no questions or concerns about fitting when it was dropped it. Again, you need to get the largest cabinet for this sink to work. We also connected a garbage disposal to the sink. This sink has a low depth, so you may want to double check if your drainage pipes are situated correctly. And speaking of depth, this sink is a monster. Pots. Pans. A drink cooler. I could wash a whale in this sink. It’s incredible. But I personally find filling up the sink to be too much water for me, so I have a dish bucket that I fit with water. And guess what? There’s plenty of room for it. This sink makes my kitchen incredible. So far, I’m happy with the durability of the sink, and have no issues with daily use for the last few months.

Almost identical to one in a local Bath/Kitche store. The one ordered is wayyy less money, and equal in quality, and 'better' accompaniments. Lucky my husband found it on Amazon. Amazing. Delighted.

Rust appears in the first use. No matter how hard one tries, remnant won't go to the collector. Has to use the hand to do it. Once remnant in the small basket, is hard to disposed into garbage bin. Again has to resort to use the hand to clean the basket. Nice looking sink but not practical. Very poor design.

Je viens de recevoir mon ensemble d'évier, je suis agréablement surprise, très belle qualité, fabrication solide, les joints sont bien fait et arrondis, la cuve est profonde. Pour les accessoires, le bac a légume est joli, grand et bien conçu. La planche ­à découpé est parfaite. Un gros merci à toutes l'équipes

It’s a great size of sink, but it’s not easy to clean up. After few uses, it has got some scratches and stains. There is no one point out these points on the review. I wished never purchased this sink.
