cracking
I have small cracks throughout within months of install and more now after a year. I wish i bought a porcelain sink. Seems impossible to replace now with the quartz around it. Also agree is was almost impossible/extremelt difficult to fir pulmbing and backsplash. You need a deeper cabinet base. Faucet is now flush against backsplace and impossible to clean behind.

    Nice sink, but...
    So, nice sink, but two things reduce the rating. 1) The "Kraus" label is off center, throwing the eye off and making it seem uncentered 2) the drain stem requires plumber's tape to keep it from leaking. You have to discover this by trial and error.

      KCV-121-1200ORB Sink and faucet
      It is a beautiful product and I will recommend it. However, the sink is higher than expected. That is my problem. The dimensions they give are correct but I just didn't take into account how high that would be above the counter. Just be sure when you are planning that you realize how high it may be potentially in your design. The other thing is that I am having to have the pop-up drain replaced because it won't lockdown. They are replacing it quickly and dealing with the service rep was very pleasant. When talking with the rep, he made it sound like this has been a persistent problem.

        Looks good in a bath remodel. My only question or thought is that the base of the sink where it sits on the countertop has a significant convex shape. This keeps the outer perimeter of the sink higher off of the counter than I expected requiring a hefty bead of caulk to seal the gap. I also wonder how well it will adhere to the counter over time.

        Looks Great!
        When we did the tiny bathroom in our 1939 bungalow the sink we chose turned out to be too large. I was pleasantly surprised to find this one with the same width but less depth. The hardest part of the instal was removing the old sink and I am super-pleased with the fit and finish of this Kraus product. Highly recommended!

            Beautiful/High quality
            These sinks and faucets are beautiful! The quality is also great and they are heavy and built well. I purchased two sets for my master bathroom and am very pleased with my purchase. I also purchased additional items from this brand after receiving my 1st item.

                Love the look of these sinks! Goes perfectly in our renovated bath. It was suggested to us not to get a vessel sink because of splashing over the edge, well not with these sinks. Maybe because they are semi recessed or because of the square shape, either way we don’t have that issue and the sinks are perfect. We already have a stainless kraus kitchen sink that is so durable, so I knew the quality would be good. We paired these sinks with the Kraus Arlo Vessel Faucet and height is perfect. Could not be happier!

                The sink itself is tiny, the description of 17 x 17 is wrong for the inside measurements in the Home Depot description. The inside isn't even 15 x 15, but holes cut in $3k of quartz countertop so stuck with them. They are wider than the standard vanity counter depth too and our installers had to rework the vanity cabinet to make these work forcing the faucet holes to be right up against the surrounding trim. Had to mount the faucets at a slight angle so could still turn them on and off. Learned our lesson to not trust the website measurements on future projects!

                Absolutely looks fantastic. Plenty deep enough with a nice slope to drain water away. Classy look and mounted underneath to the marble vanity top just fine. Glad I chose this sink!

                Nice design but poor quality. not fully square or flush underneath, differences of 1/8" noticeable. porcelain surface undulates so water doesn't run off evenly, leaves drops which turn to hard water spots,have to clean daily. I've bought cheaper sinks with better quality. Disappointment.
