Help me find a 33" workstation sink please!

6 years ago

I love the idea of the workstation sink and had pretty much decided on the Ruvati double ledge:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ruvati-Workstation-2-Tiered-Ledge-Undermount-Stainless-Steel-33-in-16-Gauge-Single-Bowl-Kitchen-Sink-RVH8222/307572743


Unfortunately, it's sold out EVERYWHERE!

Now, considering the similar Kraus:

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kraus-Kore-33-in-x-22-in-Stainless-Steel-Single-Bowl-Drop-In-or-Undermount-2-Hole-Commercial-Residential-Kitchen-Sink-All-in-One-Kit-with-Drainboard/1000957418


And just recently came across this one:

https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Transolid-Studio-Stainless-Steel-33-in-Undermount-Kitchen-Sink/29057087/product.html?refccid=6EM22ODKMVZZ3LSIYG2GYY6D5I&searchidx=3&option=51551683&kwds=transolid%20studio&rfmt=


I haven't seen a lot of reviews on the transolid, but it's pretty!

I don't want to break the bank (looked at Franke, Julien, etc. but they're really more than I want to spend).

Any suggestions on others to look at?


Other things to keep in mind:

We will have a 2nd, smaller, prep sink in the island, where I have a 24" cabinet. If I go with Ruvati, I will be able to get a matching 21" sink, with Kraus, a matching 23" sink; and with the Transolid, a 15" (is that too small?). Definitely want the sinks to be semi-matching.


Thanks SO MUCH for your help/input.

    IMO a work station sink is your prep sink that is the whole point of them

    Check out the Nantucket Pro sinks. They have one that is 32". You will also find several that are 33" on Create Good sinks.

    Have you looked at creategoodsinks.com? I really like mine and they have great customer service. The only thing I don't like is the colander for fruits. I find a lot of water stays in it with the delicate fruit. I use a colander I got years ago from BBB that has the adjustable handles. It sits perfectly on the ledge.

    I have a workstation style sink - mine is a copper sink from Havens Metals.


    However I am not understanding what functionality you want from your sinks. As Patricia posted, a work station sink functions as a prep sink with the accessories. I have a grid which I normally keep in place because it is a great place for drying veggies and anything hand washed. I have the cutting board as well as the cutting board with a hole in it which holds a large stainless bowl. All of the accessories are designed to make prepping OVER a large sink seamless - Items are washed over the sink and drip into the sink. Items are chopped over the sink and any waste products either goes into the garbage disposal or otherwise. But it doesn't dirty up the counter because the wet and the dirt is all done over a large sink.

    I was worried when I bought my Kraus sink vs a Kohler, but the size and features I was looking for weren’t available in time for install. I’m so happy with the Kraus. It’s been 1.5 years and glad I went with the features vs the brand.

    "...a 15" (is that too small?)"

    It depends.

    (I assume this is for the prep sink.)

    Is 15" the interior or exterior dimension?

    If the interior, then it will probably be OK, especially if you have smaller hands. Personally, I'd want at least 18". I have a 15.75" square sink, and there are times when it's too small. Usually it's fine, but can be a tight fit when trying to fit both hands plus food plus tools in the sink.

    If it's the exterior dimension, then, yes, it's too small. That size is more like a "bar sink" than a "prep sink". Bar sinks are for filling/emptying glasses, not for preparing food.

    This one from Nantucket Sinks is 32 overall, maybe it is what you are looking for, large single bowl with two shelves inside for the accessories : https://www.nantucketsinksusa.com/product-page/sr-ps-3220-16

    I'm trying to find a workstation sink too. I would like a 40/60 low divide double bowl workstation apron front sink preferably not stainless unless I can get the apron in hammered stainless. It's very difficult to find a 40/60 split with the large sink on the right. I'm so frustrated at this point!

    What did you end up getting? I’m searching for the same thing right now so I’d love to see what you ended up picking out and pictures!

    @Brandi Noordmans I ended up deciding to spend all those $$$ in other places and I fell in love with this Elkay Farmhouse Apron Front Fireclay 33 inch Double Bowl Kitchen Sink in white with Aqua Divide. It can be turned to have the small bowl on either the left or right or a flat apron or decorative band on the apron. It comes with a cutting board that slides on the ledge and I have found accessories that I can use on the ledge as well. I love the way it looks and can't wait for my remodel to be completed so I can use it. They began installing my cabinets this week and they sat it in the cabinet so I could get a picture.
