Kraus 32-inch Undermount Stainless Steel 16-gauge Kitchen Sink

I'm an interior designer and I specify a LOT of high-end kitchen products. I would recommend this brand of sink to everyone (and I have). 16 gauge stainless is hard to find, even in the most expensive brands - in the world - and the extras included with the sink (i.e. protective bottom grates, strainer baskets, and flanges) are worth so much. This is the most incredible sink and not just because it is so reasonably priced. Period. It's the only brand of stainless steel sink I purchase, whenever the style is right.

This sink came well packaged, including a felt bag big enough hold a large child to keep from being scratched. The under coating for noise reduction isn't too thick or ugly to deal with. The grates fit well, approximately 1/2" off the bottom of the sink,and have plastic protectors to prevent scratching. The two drains included were impressive. I will probably not use both due to my garbage disposal. I don't think either will work with your typical disposal set up. The one I will use is about a 2-3" deep basket style that would catch almost anything. The sink is 16 gauge stainless steel, which is kind of hard to find at Home Depot or Lowe's; The heavier gauge does make the sink quieter and less tinny if you are trying to compare.

The picture in the ad showed a Krause sink with the logo stamped on the front plate. This one did not have the logo. It Did have sloppy scraping marks around the corners and blemishes in the base of the larger basin. The finish was gritty to the touch and not smooth. The customer service rep was very helpful and has arranged for a replacement sink to be sent out.

First off I was surprised with the presentation of the packaging. It was well designed and the sink itself was exactly what I wanted. In fact it exceeded my expectations because it was actually larger than the same size sink it was replacing. Plus I didn't have to replumb the drains.
