@cabinathome Concerning my Julien Smart Station sink, I’ve now had the sink for almost 4 years. The ”protective” feet on the grid have marked the stainless sink and I‘ve had no success removing the marks. Julien did not offer a solution or cover this under their warranty, which seemed outrageous to me. Since my original post, the wood sides on the dish drainer accessory have begun to rot, so I will need to order another of those. This should not have happened on an expensive sink that is not heavily used (2 people). As for the stainless finish, it seems dullish to me despite following all of Julien’s cleaning instructions and using their recommended cleaning products. The stainless on this sink was supposed to be the best quality—how is it that plastic grid feet have permanently marred the surface of the sink and the finish is rather dull after only a few years?? I have no clue. I was not happy with Julien’s customer service and lack of resolution for the marred stainless, so I won’t be purchasing a Julien sink again. As for the design of the Smart Station sink, I do like it.

I have had a blanco profina for over a year. I really like it. Haven’t had any issues with cracking. I do have a garbage disposal. The ledge is nice for chopping, and I have a dish drainer that sits on the ledge also. I use a rack in the bottom to protect from pans. Cleaning is a breeze - even easier than stainless sinks I’ve had in the past. I love the way it looks with my white cabinets and countertops. Not sure the centered drain bothers me, but it probably will now that I’ve read your post. At least it will make me think about it. Also I didn’t think I would like one big sink, but I actually do.

All wonderful suggestions and considerations. This is my first post and I am ever so grateful for the replies. I do favour the offset drain and will find out this week if it will be a fit or not, otherwise I have found this. Any thoughts? https://www.prochef.ca/en/product/model/IH75-TS-27209/ Great point about the faucet, I actually recognize that picture from a previous search of mine and I did check last night as a matter of fact our new faucet does have the ability to forward face if required. I’ve heard mixed reviews about Kohler sinks (surface rust?). I do have access to a Kohler Tocatta http://ca.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/detail.jspfrom=thumb&frm=null&module=Kitchen+Sinks&item=244202&prod_num=3348-3&section=1&category=5&resultPage=0-1849799992 and a vault but I’m not keen on the zero radius corners on the vault. I would love a Kraus sink but again amazon only sells a 33” pax (zero radius) and an two pack of 25” sinks. Really weird.

Stacy, I have the Akurum line which had the split top drawer standard. It can be done by mounting a divider to attach the rails to. That is how I do the individual trash pullouts under the sink (see the under sink photo I posted earlier) . I dont necessarily think split drawers are an advantage because you lose about 3 1/2” storage. I like the off-white Bodbyn. It’s not yellow in my kitchen which does have warm lighting @ 3000K and lots of wood which causes it to photograph with a yellowish cast. Look back at my daughter’s kitchen to see how the Bodbyn looks next to bright white subway tile. She has warm lighting too. Also, Ikea has a new door, Akstad that is bright white. Hope you find something you like.
