Ruvati30-inch Workstation Ledge 50/50 Double Bowl Undermount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink - RVH8345

EDITING THIS ON NOV. 8, 2022:** RE: accumulation of debris in the seams/corners: it happens a lot. Is it horrible, no. Is it a pain, yes? Am I subtracting a star? No, because I still love the sink. A huge drawback to the metal racks in the bottom of each sink -- the wee rubber clamps that attach to the wires. Let me see if I can describe this well:• each wire rack has four rubber clamps, one in each corner, that actually rest on the sink bottom.• in addition, for design sake, I guess, each rack has several rubber clamps that also attach to the wire, but don't touch the sink bottom. They appear to be simply for design, and I agree, they do look GREAT.• The big caveat is that all of the clamps — even the functional corner clamps — attract debris, which turns, I think, to a black mold-like substance. To clean them, you have to pop them off the wire, get a brush and bleach, glove up, and scrub. Then you rinse them and pop them back on. We've decided to keep only the four rubber clamps in each corner which keep the wire racks off the metal. The design-only clamps have been cleaned, dried, and stored under the kitchen sink. When/if we sell this house we'll put them back on the racks.PROS:Really like this work station sink. Of the three items that come with it— cutting board, rectangular collander, steel slat drying rack — I'm happiest with the steel slats. We use it all the time -- it's like an extension of the countertop, but still allows you wash dishes on the left and to rinse them on the right.Also really like the metal racks that drop into each side as they keep silverware off the sink floor.CAVEATS:• Make sure you measure carefully your faucet and soap dispenser, and are clear with your fabricators as to where you want the holes for each drilled in the slab.• You also need to measure carefully your faucet and soap dispenser and make sure each is long enough to extend into the sink bowl. Our faucet and soap dispenser don't extend far enough into the sink because I didn't measure. This is my first kitchen remodel and it wasn't on my radar to be mindful of this. As a result of the faucet not extending more into the sink bowl, we do get some water splatter on the counter and kitchen window. We've learned to hold low whatever we're washing and that has fixed the problem.• You also need to be mindful of the faucet's handle location. Our faucet handle is to the right, and that means when our hands are wet and we turn it off, we get water on the counter which then needs to be wiped.• When faucet shopping I looked at a touchless model but nixed it because I thought it would be just one more thing to go wrong. I'd rethink that now. In addition, I'd look for a faucet with a handle not to the side, but in front of the faucet, pointing into the sink. That would help negate the water on the counter issue.• Cleaning the sink — I'd like a bit more of a slope to the sink bottom so that food/debris in the sink corners can be more easily pushed to the drain. (Ruvati, you could offset the slope by adjusting the height on each rack's feet.)PACKAGING:Holy smokes. BEAUTIFUL. Normally I could give two hoots about packaging, but everything was so thoughtfully packaged with an eye toward protecting the sink and accessories. Thank you, Ruvati.OVERALL:I recommend this sink. I like the double sink as opposed to the single sink (one large trough).

UPDATE: I finally got the correct size and it is installed! I love the designer look of the undermount style and the depth of the sink is perfect for holding some dishes while using the drying rack and other accessories. I was worried I'd have to store the strainer basket when not in use but I leave it in the smaller side of the sink and it doesn't impede the use at all. I do keep the cutting board to the side as it's wood and I don't want it to be wet all the time but other than that, I'm very happy with my purchase.My contractor has provided incorrect dimensions twice now resulting in the wrong size sinks. Ruvati has been amazing in accepting returns/exchanges. The products have a designer feel with moderate cost. I love the under mount style and all the accessories that come with. The custom cutting board is one of my favorite features as it gives me more work space in my galley kitchen. I also love the strainer accessory and the roll out drainer. Tons of features that make my kitchen more efficient and user friendly.

Beautiful sink. Excellent quality! Will be installed next week. I’m so excited. By the way,it was packaged with great care to avoid damage and shipped quickly. Arrived in two days! If you want a double bowl sink, I highly recommend this one.

Amazing sink, except the cutting board is warped and no it does not sit in water. It looks great and is super functional. Also the sink is huge!!

As a kitchen/bath remodeler I see a lot of products that are not worth the price, this sink is worth more than it costs. Thick metal, great quality feel, very nice accessories, and very well packaged to protect against delivery damage.The size is bigger than standard so a big fry pan will fit flat and be submerged. Very important.My wife and my most recent client are reluctant to switch to the big single sink and this one is a perfect compromise.I’m doing my own kitchen soon and this is the sink I am using.

We've been using this sink for 4 months now, and I have to give it 5 stars. At first I thought it might be too deep, but there's plenty of room under it in a normal cabinet. the sink has sound deadening all around it, and it is quiet to use, there is no "drum-like" sound at all, unlike most sinks. Everything about this sink says quality. We looked at many others at the local high-end stores, and this is every bit of quality of much more expensive sinks. The welds are perfect, and while we were concerned that cleaning in the corners might be an issue, it really isn't..maybe it's because we bought a quality faucet to help rinse after use, but it has been easy to keep clean. the appearance after 4 months of heavy use (my wife cooks daily) is just like it was brand new. Everyone that visits compliments the look and design. The shelf for the included cutting board is a huge time saver for my wife, she uses it constantly to cut up meat and vegetables...and merely rinses it in place...no more juices and cuttings on the counter. The colander, as others have said is the only thing they could improve with a few more holes..easily fixed though. The grates are perfect.Another thing I have to compliment Ruvati is on their packaging. I've never seen such careful thought put into how they packaged for shipping.

The sink is beautiful!
