Fossil Blu farmhouse sink

7 years ago

Has anyone had experience with Fossil Blu fireclay farmhouse sinks? They are described as "modern" meaning sharper corners and thinner walls. The manufacturer indicate that they will not craze or scratch.

    Chinese. Skip it.

    I don't see any evidence of that. Clay is said to come from Italy, France and Israel.

    All manufactured in China. Read between the lines as to what they aren’t saying about their “international” production. It’s the typical verbiage of those who want to conceal the country of origin. As is the company name, to give faux snob appeal to just a cheap china sink.

    Oh, and that nasty common box store that they wanted to avoid, carries their product.

    The Chinese invented porcelain 2,000 years ago. They ought to know a thing or two about it don't you think?

    I bought the Fossil Blu sink through a big box store. It arrived with a crack. The store arranged for the return and gave me a 15% discount on a reorder. Because the store was out of stock, they arranged for me to get the discount directly from Fossil Blu. Customer service was excellent. Fossil Blu informed me that less than 1% of their stock arrives damaged and was very apologetic. The new sink is installed and I love it.

    I don't see anything special about these sinks. They're similar to what's available from other companies, and the sizes are typical.

    Did anyone end up getting a Fossil Blu Farmhouse sink/know anyone who has a copper one by them? What were your impressions? I'm considering getting their copper 30" farmhouse. Thank you :)

    I am thinking of ordering a Fossil Blu 33" Farmhouse sink in white. For those that have purchased this brand sink, are you having any issues, cracks, chips? Do you love it? It looks like great quality.

    I love mine.. Two years. No chips, cracks or stains.

    Hi Did anyone end up buying the Fossil Blu Farmers Sink? Does it drain well without having the slope. I am deciding between this sink or a undermount stainless. I love the look and great reviews on quality.

    Mia, I have a faucet with a pull down hose and i use it to flush water from the sides to the drain The sink drains water but not enough to wash down debris by itself. It’s not bad. Jus Just a little more wowork. I love the sink.

    Thanks Suzette. One more question. I read all the reviews on the food particles. I will have a garbage disposal. I throw scrabs in the garbage. So not so worried there. I bought an awesome faucet to move the water and food to the drain. If you were to do it again, would you buy a fossil blu or go undermount stainless with a work station? I love the look of the fossil blu Fireclay but I am back and forth on a Haven Metal luxe stainless.

    Wow! I looked up the Haven Metal sink and they are beautiful. I would stay with the white clay sink myself. My house is not partifularly modern and I definitely wanted the white bib. I like the big open space and the work station isn't a must for me as I have a lot of counter space. I think it's just a matter of preference and you would likely be happy with either once you make your choice. Good luck!

    Hi I wanted to leave this here for anyone researching in the future. I went with the Fossil Blue 33" Farmers sink. I highly recommend this brand. It is beautiful and big. You need the extended insert if you are using a garbage disposal. The reviews that you have to move the food to the drain is true. Make sure you buy a very nice extended faucet to move the food particles and water. I went with Waterstone and absolutely love the faucet. No slope in the sink to move items to the drain. I am 5'8 so I do have to bend over with dishes.... Which I rather not have to. Love that it is 10" deep. I really love the look but my next sink will be the Haven Undermount workstation sink.
