Nancy B: Just had my sink installed. It is beautiful. I was worried because I've never had a black sink before. As I replaced appliances, black seemed to takeover the frig and the glass stove top so why not a black sink. It's deep and stylish in that it is not a square with sharp corners. It feels stonelike but yet it doesn't seem to be as hard a surface as say porcelain. So I didn't line the bottom with a rack or rubber mat to cushion the bottom and prevent breakage and so far it seems fine. When the light shines directly on it you can notice tiny sparkles which I think will look nice with my new solid surface countertop when it gets installed. I now need to find out about the does and don't regarding cleaning it.

maricka: Quality sink for the price looks really good. Didn’t have any problems putting it together. Bought as a gift for my sons housewarming. although I was disappointed the way the delivery went. The overall product was great.

OliviaOlivia: Had our countertops replaced and bought a new sink to go with them. The person installing our counters didn’t use the template that came with the sink and cut the hole too big. Thankfully our old sink juuust fit, so we could use it until we found a replacement. As angry as I was with with the installer, it was a blessing in disguise because I LOVE this sink! It fits all the pots and pans and even my extra large cookie sheet! If you’re on the fence, BUY IT!

Nadine NicholsonNadine Nicholson: The box came late and completely destroyed, I thought the sink would be the same within …shocking enough the sink survived its journey to the Yukon unmarked due to the styrofoam.
The offset drains made it not possible for myself to install as DIY so I hired someone. It looks great and it’s very deep. I m pleased with it!

Sam LisztSam Liszt: This sink is amazing, I spent a couple months researching different ones and trying to find the best price. I love the side mount drain.
We had to adjust our pipes for the side mount and cause we were going from a double to a single it required different parts but the guys at the hardware store helped and it was super easy. We bought a new faucet to match. This sink was so easy to install. We had to cut one part but it was fine.
This sink is the best!! Hold way more dishes and larger pans. East to clean, and no stains/marks.
Only problem I found with this sink was that I couldn’t use my old sponge handle that suctioned to the side. The material doesn’t work with the suction sponges/holders. I just bought a rack that sits across and holds everything I need.

katie w.katie w.: My 9 year old daughter and I installed the sink in 2 hours (and 5 trips to my local hardware store for plumbing, nothing against the sink.) I suggest when installing to go ahead and connect the faucet AND the little clips BEFORE dropping it in. It makes it much easier than trying to tighten everything from underneath. This sink is BEAUTIFUL. It doesn't show water spots. It's DEEP and so spacious. I love the side drain. There's so much room for activities on the left. I will never have another sink style! I even attached the old garbage disposal and drain flange to the new sink without issue. I would have loved an option for a matching drain assembly for the sink, but i'm not complaining at all. Sink is black, my old drain is stainless steel - it's still beautiful.
I got a tall faucet that BLASTS water. The sink being so deep doesn't let anything splash out. Incredibly easy to wipe down. I can't say enough great things about the sink!!! Worth every penny.

AshleyAshley: I absolutely love this sink. The only downfall of it has nothing to do with the sink itself and everything to do with Amazon.
The sink itself is large, beautiful and I love the side drain. The construction and materials used were quality and going from the typical double bowl stainless sink to this is amazing. It’s easy to clean, looks great and is huge. The drain itself is of good quality, and the strainer supplied works as a strainer and plug so no need for multiple bits hanging out. Compared to the drain with our old sink this all just works and makes sense.
As for my issue with Amazon I ordered the sink and didn’t receive it for a month which delayed my kitchen Reno. I had to stay ontop of Amazon but constantly reaching out to them and getting the same response - it’s shipping - when it was in fact never shipping. If I were to suggest anything I would order it from your local store like Home Depot who had it for a comparable price. Unfortunately they would not let me cancel my order.

Jack BauerJack Bauer: I bought this sink for my wife with the pictured faucet as a birthday gift. Both are Kraus. I, having never installed a kitchen sink, was a little apprehensive about the install. I did all my research and made one trip to Home Depot for the things needed to install (Tail piece extension for plumbing modification, silicone, PVC cutter, Kraus drain cover, plumber's putty and a 5mm underlayment to cover up the water damaged flooring of the cabinet - it's temporary). I also got a new Insinkerator disposal mounting kit with gasket for disposal because the other one was scratched and worn. I got back home and proceeded to remove the 20 years worth of cleaners and stuff from under the sink. My hope was that the plumbing would line up perfect where my existing sink drain was and that the sink would fit perfect in the opening. Once I got the old out and dry fit the new sink there was a sigh of relief. The contractor cut the opening slightly larger than they should have for the prior sink so the new sink just barely fit and covered. It's close but it is covered. I had to use the black spacers that come with the sink install kit in order to tighten it down to the counter top. After dry...
