KrausTurino Workstation 33-inch Farmhouse Kitchen Sink, Reversible Apron Front, Fireclay Single Bowl, White, KFR1-33GWH

The sink arrived as expected. Nicely shipped with zero issues. It’s heavy so if you install as the under-mount option as we did, you will need a support cradle (see photo). Our cabinet installers made one with extra wood on the spot to fit it. It took them 15 mins.I noticed other reviews state it didn’t drain well. We are not experiencing this. The sink has a slight but visible cant towards the drain. When washing dishes, food and water easily travel that way. I selected this sink specifically because the drain is on the side and not in the middle. I think this could be a difference maker for draining. We had a sink similar (in stainless steel) with the drain in the middle, and I hated spraying food and debris to the center drain near dishes I had already washed and set aside to dry. I could never keep it clean. No real fuss to keep this one clear of food debris with the drain on the far side. Even lazy husband has no issues with keeping it drained and clear of food debris.We did have a plumber install a garbage disposal. This was a little more costly as it required us to purchase an “extra deep disposal flange” ( about $100 for the flange) due to the thickness of the sink. See photo.Counter installers used a laser to measure the sink to fit the quartz counters cutout exactly. I think with fire clay there could be some variations, but the sink appears true and rectangular to the naked eye. It installed with zero problems.It’s beautiful sink. It was also more affordable compared to a quality cast iron. We purchased the custom grid sink protector to prevent dishes from breaking out damaging the sink’s finish (see picture). It does a great job of supporting heavy casserole dishes. Obviously, we have only used it for a short time, and I will update if any concerns come up in the future.Lastly, I wanted a work stain sink. The Kraus brand allows you to purchase accompanying items that fit inside the groove of this mode for customizable options. Some are pricey but are a beautiful addition to the sink’s functionality. We are very happy with this purchase after spending months trying to compare fire clay with cast iron to enameled sinks. This is a clear winner for our budget, needs, and aesthetic desires.

I needed to replace an old worn out porcelain sink in our kitchen, which was getting a full renovation. I saw other sinks, that were metal basin weighing 18 pounds. this one by Kraus was solid off white porcelain, weighing I think near 38 pounds, but worth all the effort to install. It's a beauty, easy to clean and dropped right into the new quartz countertop. It needed wooden supports under the sink to stabilize, and my contractor easily installed struts in 20 minutes to hold it up. It was also wider than the inner borders of the cabinet, but the added supports solved that problem. It goes great with the black satin hardware. Very happy with it. Worth the price for sure. I saw no scratches on it over 8 months before we moved out.

Beautiful sink. You won’t regret this purchase. Just make sure your contractor knows about the front part of the sink. It’s not perfectly square and if they don’t know how it curves in the front, you’ll see an ugly gap in your kitchen cabinets. We fought hard with our contractor to fix the gap issue.

Delivered broken!

I love this sink! I was hesitant about going with a white sink, because I have read some terrible reviews about some of them, but thankfully I have been very impressed with this one. I use Bar Keeper’s Friend to keep it clean. No stains or chips so far. We’ve had it in our newly remodeled kitchen for about 4 months and no issues. It is so pretty!

The sink arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The only thing included with the sink was the bottom grid and some extra rubber feet for the grid. There were no installation or care instructions included, nor was there templates for the countertop or cabinet cutouts. It’s extremely heavy (150 lbs) so take that into consideration when building or modifying your cabinet. I also had to purchase an extended flange for my garbage disposal installation, so prepare accordingly.Everyone loves our new sink. It’s an impressive statement piece in our new kitchen and everyone who has seen our new kitchen complements the sink. So far (about 3 weeks), it’s been easy to clean and maintain, but we haven’t had to wash any large heavy pots/pans that would be more likely to scratch it, so I can’t say how it will hold up to those tougher jobs.It’s a little pricey, but certainly not the most expensive option, and if you catch it on sale, it seems like a great deal considering brand reputation, size and quality.Overall, its an excellent sink and one of our favorite features of our new kitchen.
