Create Good Sinks - disposal and accessories?

6 years ago

Hi! I’m getting ready to place an order for a Create Good Sinks 33“ ledge sink. How does everyone like the accessories? Do you use them all? is the cutting board well made? What brand and model disposal do you have installed? Any problems with the disposal hook uo since it is different than most? Thank you!

    The only problem I've read about with the Create Good Sinks drain assembly is that the parts that are normally on top of the drain are underneath instead and can collect mold. You may need to find a special way to clean underneath where the drain is. Accessories with any workstation sink are great to have, so feel free to order as many as you feel you could use or have room to store. I'm not familiar with the quality of accessories of Create Good Sinks in particular. This company was previously selling sinks under the name Seamless Sinks and moved production to the United States briefly a few years ago but as of 2019 is producing in China once again after having quality issues with US-based production.

    Create Good Sinks claimed to me in a private email that the stainless steel they order for their Chinese production isn't recycled, but their public-facing advertising isn't clear on that or on the purity of the metal. Therefore, you may need to take extra precaution against rust due to the uncertainty of the metal's origin and purity. Havens Metal, Rachiele and Julien are all producers of sinks with more transparently stated sources of 100% non-recycled stainless steel that has a high level of purity and is more resistant to rust than many offshore-produced brands. You won't beat the price of Create Good Sinks, though. I don't think you can get an apron-front from this company which is nice to have if you're using it as a workstation sink since you can get a little closer to the work area with an apron front.

    Also, if you're ordering many accessories and have room for anything larger than a 33", consider going larger. You'll find that to leave a cutting board or strainer in the sink, a 42" or even more will give you extra room to wash on one side and keep accessories like a strainer, cutting board or drying rack on the other side. Hope you enjoy your new sink! Workstation sinks are the new wave in kitchen functionality, and it's a great choice to make.

    Regarding the disposal, I had read only certain models/sizes of the Insinkerator brand disposal will work with the Create Good Sinks. I would call their customer service number and ask about that.

    I have one of their 26” ledge sinks in my pantry. I purchased all the accessories but only use the cutting board so it was kind of a waste for me. If i had one of their much larger sinks the accessories would definitely come in handy because i could leave them on the ledge and they wouldn’t interfere with washing etc.

    Love that all the chopping mess stays IN the sink and doesn’t spill all over the counter.


    They boast about their drain assembly (that it’s seamless), but it DOES have a seam....it’s just lower down into the drain which I really don’t like at all....I would rather have they typical drain which is much easier to keep clean.

    Don't know about Create Good Sinks, but we really like our Rachiele 42" workstation sink. Keeps all the mess in the sink, doesn't show stains or scratches, and needs only the occasional wipe to keep clean. We don't have a disposal because I've yet to find one that lasts more than a year (expensive or cheap doesn't appear to matter).

    I just had the Create Good Sinks 33" ledge sink installed, drain on the left. It is a nice looking sink, but otherwise I am unimpressed. In my research of the reviews on Houzz of this sink, nobody mentioned that the drain hole seems smaller than average and if something goes down the sink that shouldn't be there, it is very difficult to get your hand in and move it around to find the object. My hands are small; I can't imagine someone with larger hands being able to do this.

    Another issue I have is that their accessories have sharp edges and I fear they will scratch the sink when moving them around. The rubber feet on the grate that sits at the bottom of the sink has left what seems to be permanent marks on the bottom of the sink. where they sit.

    My last sink was a Franke and the finish on that sink lasted for 24 years and developed a nice patina over time. Overall, I probably wouldn't get this again, although it does look very good.

    And to answer the OP's original question, I don't think the accessories are well made. The cutting board is thin and as I stated, the edges of all accessories are sharp (ish).
