What is the size of your sink base cabinet? What is the width of this Cater sink?

The sink is 33x22x9. It is the same size as my current sink. I believe my cabinet is 33", but I am not home to measure.

Some will probably say that anything less than 16 gauge stainless steel is junk, but that’s just not true. As long as the steel is of good quality, 18 gauge is perfectly acceptable. So, I think you’ll be fine. Besides, Kohler is a trusted name in plumbing and offers a lifetime limited warranty on its sinks.

Thanks. I was specifically looking at 16 gauge but noticed other Kohler sinks were 18, so thought it would be ok.

It's a fine sink.

Did you end up installing? Wondering on quality.

I am looking at this sink too...did you install?

We did not end up installing. It was just a bit too big so we went with the ruvatti in a size smaller. I think the Kohler would have fit ok, but tight. I didn't want to risk it as my hubby (not a pro) is installing the sink and concrete counter tops. I decided to take any potential issues out of the equation.

Which Ruvatti did you get?

Love this sink! We installed it as an under-mount sink under granite and it’s been fantastic and easy to clean.

Hi - we bought this sink on sale at Costco for $200 ($100 off). We have slowly been changing all our kitchen appliances to Stainless and the sink was the last one. We paired it with a Glacier Bay Touchless LED pull-down faucet from Home Depot ($219).

Installation was tight - our cast-iron sink 2-bay sink was installed by the builder and we have granite tile (not slabs - if you are buying a house with granite tile - stop!) when I pulled the old sink the hole was not very well cut and this sink wouldn't fit. I had to "phone a friend" who got me in touch with a granite installer who came on a weekend and spent an hour to measure and cut our hole a little bigger. Ping another $125, but the guy was great; far better than I would have done having never used a variable speed grinder before.

We also decided against the soap dispenser and instead put in a button to control the garbage disposal ($79) - Combine this with the extras (pipe fittings, plumbers putty, silicone, etc) and I'm probably into this a little over $550. But MAN - does it look great, and the wife is pleased! :)

Advice? I have 3:

1. If you're replacing a builder-installed sink, EXPECT the hole to be too small for this one. If you've never cut granite, try and phone a friend. Installers take little jobs like this to make side money and, for me, I feel that money was very well spent.
2. LEAN on the registered plumber working for your Home Depot for advice (ask for the registered plumber - home depot does this at each store). Take photos of your current sink, especially drain pipes underneath and a shot of how far your black drain pipe sticks out from the wall (put your smartphone back there and take a sideways photo). I could not have done this without my local Home Depot plumber - he was super helpful.
3. The cutting board is bamboo - many reviews i saw said it started warping and showed wear almost immediately. I would buy some mineral oil and give it 3 days of deep treatment (maybe even some cutting board butter (which has beeswax or paraffin wax too) before using.

Other than that it's a great project. If your hole IS big enough and you've prepared properly you should be able to finish in a day.

Follow-Up - we used our original 1/3HP garbage disposal. This is MUCH LOUDER on a stainless sink than it was on the previous cast-iron sink. Best advice is to buy a new insinkerator 3/4HP with insulation... I haven't done this yet but plan to at the cost of ~$220. Installation will be a snap, especially after replacing the sink!
