I find these more of a PITA than good design. The cutting boards are too small you need a place to store all the parts and I much prefer a large single bowl sink in stainless for ease of use and practicality. A good sized cutting board is a must and I even find the grids for the bottom of the sink just one more thing to clean.

I recommend seeing one in person. I was all set to order one, saw it in person, and then realized I’d probably spend more time shuffling the accessories than using them.

I’m sure other people love their’s, however.

I installed this Kraus yesterday. Nice sink. Note the deep strainer that is removable.

I agree about the need for a big cutting board that fits over the sink. That is more important than having something small that fits on to a ledge. There are many sources for cutting boards made to measure that fit on top of a regular sink nicely.

A thought?

I see no reason the have a cutting board fit over your sink , then waht do you do when washing veggies before prep.

I had a cutting board over a sink prior to my remodel and it was a fantastic way to extend my limited counter space. It also made it much easier to clean up because the counter was kept cleaner - especially in terms of stuff like chicken that is potentially dangerous if it cross contaminates.

The cutting board doesn't cover the whole sink so you are still able to wash and prep easily.

I liked having prep right above my sink so much I got a sink with a ledge in my current remodel - 36" which is much bigger than I would have gotten if I didn't have the ability to use it as counter space. My new sink has both a cutting board as well as a drain board that can also be used on the bottom of the sink. I think it increases functionality.

I don’t have the Kohler sink, but have something similar in our pantry/scullery. I absolutely LOVE having a cutting board on a ledge IN the sink (rather than over it). Keeps all the mess in the sink and food and veggie scraps don’t roll all over the counter.....anything that falls off the cutting board falls directly into the sink. My sink is only 28” and I love having a single bowl...would never even consider a split bowl on a sink 33” or smaller...just doesn’t leave enough room for large pans etc.

Love my 30" Highpoint double-ledge sink with poly cutting board and colander from O.com. I replaced the colander with an expandable one that fits either ledge and use flexible cutting mats over the poly board which easily pop into the DW. The colander slides under the board and both stay in the sink as they are used numerous times a day. For bigger jobs, I've purchased off the shelf larger poly and wood boards for both ledges which keep watermelon and BBQ mess in the sink. Even breading chicken or mixing up baked goods is so much cleaner now. Crumbs and goo go right into the sink. If you need larger than 30", I have seen that Nantucket Sinks is offering this same sink in a larger version now.

Pippabean- did you ever have a problem with the colander, pan or grates discoloring or getting stained from use?
