It's a beautiful drop-in sink in bright, sparkling white. I don't like stainless steel sinks - they feel harsh to me. It is increasingly difficult to find a good, traditional cast-iron double sink. This one is replacing a heavier one with thick porcelain enamel that finally began to rust. I think this one meets needs, although the enamel feels a bit thinner than I'm used to. Overall, I think this is the best available if you prefer a softer, classic sink style.

Ordered 1st sink and while carefully installed corner chipped off on day 2! To replace, had to buy a second and pick it up, uninstall 1st, install new sink and then return chipped sink. Sink is beautiful but replacing it was not fun. Fortunately I could do install or that would have been a double expense. Kohler was no help. Home Depot was great.

All come with damage
This is my third try at getting a review published. Apparently you cannot include problems we encountered trying to get this sink. I thought that was important to include as part of the whole purchasing process, but evidently I was wrong. So, to focus on the sink itself, it is NOT possible to get an undamaged sink. We ordered this sink three times and still ended up with a sink that has cracks and fractures in 2 different areas that were not visible to the naked eye until those areas got dirty, then we saw them right away - AFTER it was all installed. I would rate this sink 5 stars if it were possible to get one that was not damaged, but it's not possible so I have no choice to rate it 1 star. Be warned if you decide to get this sink, have it shipped to the store and inspect it closely with a flashlight, and also feel over every part of the sink for cracks you may not easily see. I suggest you do that before you take it home. Now we are stuck with a sink that is damaged. It's ridiculous that they don't package them better for shipment since these sinks are obviously not made to withstand shipping in a cardboard box. You cannot buy them in the store either. I'm attaching 2 images to show our sink cracks. I adjusted the lighting so you can see them which is why one looks yellow, but our sink is white. Hopefully this review will prevent someone else getting stuck with a damaged sink like we did. It's ridiculous.

    Almond, Almond, Almond
    It is really tough finding an almond color kitchen sink. I was glad to have found this double cast iron sink. The first one I ordered was warped in the front and had to be returned. The second sink was perfect. The only complaint I have is I had it delivered to Home Depot and they sat on it for 8 days and never notified me of it's arrival till I called their customer service department and had it traced. It was in the store all that time. But back to the sink, I am now 100% satisified with it. I do not care for these new sinks made out of all sorts of composit this, composit that. They are dull and the ones I've seen in homes do not look clean.

    Great quality product.
    Great product and quality. Make sure you have help installing it. Weighting around 140 lbs. it's a two-man job. The best part of the whole thing is my wife is extremally happy with it.

    I bought a Kohler because I thought it would be a high quality sink. I was terribly wrong. It scratches very easily and stains easily. I even have a sink protector but it still scratches and stains. The worse part is we cannot get the scratches out. I am very disappointed with this sink and would not recommend it.

      I rated this as a “1” because when my plumber took it out of the box there were two chips in the porcelain that were very visible. He had to install it any what since he disconnected piping, etc. Fortunately, Home Depot was great when I explained the problem. They immediately reordered one for me (hopefully, it will not have the same problem). The Asst Mgr handled the situation perfectly to my satisfaction. But, as for the Kohler sink, I was very disappointed. I am replacing the exact same model and it is a great looking sink and good quality, but this new one was disappointing. Not Home Depot’s fault, everyone there was great to work with.

            We purchased this and when the plumbers came to install, there was a defect in the glazing on the front right corner. Returned and reordered. Second one was worse - it was not level on the whole left edge - big gap on the back left corner. Ended up we had to call Kohler for resolution and their customer service was EXCELLENT! Hopefully third time's the charm.

                  Excellent product in every way but one: the sink is not quite flat; one corner sits above the plane of the counter. If I push down on the high corner, the opposite corner goes up. So I am being careful to caulk around the edge of the sink to support the high corner and to keep water out.
