The sink arrived badly broken. We discovered the break as we unboxed it for the install. See pics. It was in several pieces in the box. There's a ding hole in the cardboard box, as though a sharp item like a rebar jabbed it and cracked it irreparably. The packaging had no styrofoam whatsoever, which was surprising considering it's fragility. 3 stars for the customer service on the return at our local Home Depot. Thanks to Darron for resolving a difficult situation quickly and easily.

Great sink for a tight space
We needed a narrow sink (less than 19 inches in width) for our small powder room. This sink looks great and works perfectly for our space. Sink is wide enough where I have zero concerns about water splashing out.

    Sink top did not fit the base tightly. New install so no comment on durability

    Pedestal Sink
    Love the look of this sink in our half bath. We did have someone install it so I cant speak to that part of it but for the price it has the right amount of style and fits great in our space.

      Love, love, love this Kohler Pedestal Sink! We purchased this with the matching Elmbrook Kohler toilet. The style and shape of both are what drew me to the Elmbrook. Both modern and stylish design. My husband had no issues installing.

        I replaced an old pedestal sink with this Kohler model. It is tall, which we preferred, and has clean lines. It looks fantastic. My only complaint is the difficulty I experienced during install. I would assume this is common to all pedestal sinks, but attaching the plumbing is very difficult once the base is in place. I followed the directions that accompanied the sink and still had issues. The problem is, you can't see the plumbing once everything is in place and ready for hook-up. I resorted to using my phone in selfie mode to make sure everything was done correctly. Otherwise, you have to do it by touch.

        Pedestal and sinks packed securely in separate boxes. Instructions are straightforward and well written, but I watched a couple of YouTube videos "just to be sure" I wasn't missing anything. Pre-installing the (Moen Darcy) widespread faucet took the most time, but was also easy. Aesthetics are a personal choice, but I like the "contemporary classic" look of this sink - clean lines, few and subtle curves.

        I recently replaced a 30" vanity cabinet/sink combination with the Koehler Elmbrook pedestal sink. Before the change my tiny bathroom felt tight. The Elmbrook pedestal sink makes it look and function like a larger space. I am very happy and it definitely meets my expectations.

        This is a very solid, high quality pedestal sink. The sink comes packaged very carefully in two different boxes. (Lower and upper) The sink comes with easy to ready instructions along with the needed hardware. In my opinion, the sink has very clean lines that offer a slight contemporary look without needing to be in a fully contemporary setting. Our house is far from being very contemporary in style, and it looks great!! I would strongly recommend for anyone looking to freshen up their bathroom or powder room. As far as the faucet holes, there are countless styles of faucets that can be used with the configuration. I would recommend double checking the faucet or the sink prior to purchasing both to make sure they are compatible.

        Looks great. Easy to install. Wide, deep basin with overflow drain
        As I lifted the pedestal base up and out of its box, I was pleasantly surprised at how thick and weighty it is. The white vitreous porcelain sink and pedestal are beautifully finished and uniform. The 2-piece design of this pedestal sink assembles quickly. The vanity top sits firmly on the base and does not wobble. The concave shape of the base helps hide the drain pipe, which ideally should be chromed metal pipe since it’s not completely hidden so it becomes a decorative feature of the sink. I like the large, deep, basin, and the fact that there is an overflow drain, but there is no room for soap and toiletries on either side of the sink basin, only a small area next to the faucet handles. The top features pre-drilled holes for a standard 8-inch widespread lavatory faucet. The base and sink is anchored to the wall studs and floor using included hardware. A hole is pre-drilled in the center of the base, allowing the included lag bolt a way to pass through to the flooring. Although installation is straight-forward, the included instructions contain text and illustrations detailing each step in the installation procedure. The styling of this pedestal sink coordinates well with the Kohler toilet from another collection that I recently installed in my ½-bath. I’d suggest installing the faucet and drain pipe to the sink before placing the top on the pedestal and securing it to the wall. This pedestal sink is a great choice for a small bathroom or ½-bath where under-sink storage isn’t needed. High Quality, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Nice Design

        Do not ship to home
        The base was in pieces when I received it. Packaging was non existent. Just the base in the box with no padding. Can't even blame the delivery people...smh.

          Sink top arrived damaged. Home Depot customer service referred me to Kohler customer service who is replacing it but I am having to wait a month before it ships then another two weeks for delivery. My bathroom remodel is complete other than the sink top. Very disappointing that a replacement was more readily available. I do believe the sink will be a beautiful addition once received.

          The pedestal was delayed. Then the basin was delayed further. When the basin arrived it was simply the Kohler box. The sink was damaged in shipping.

          Pedestal column and sink did not match. When our plumber came to install, he informed us that he could not install because the two parts would not fit together, so we have to return them and have to reorder as the original order was no longer available.
