It will take a while to retrain yourself but I think that you can learn to wipe things into the trash. Have you seen the sink in person? It's really quite large my husband absolutely disliked it.

We just installed this sink with butcher block counters for the second time. The most important thing (in my opinion) is to have your counters waterproof. I used several coats of raw tung oil and a citrus solvent from realmilkpaint.com. I haven't had any staining around the sink. I also put clear caulk between the edge of the sink and the counter.

I really like this sink for the money

I've got this sink. Cleaning up around the outer edges is not a problem. I just wipe and grab crumbs with my other hand. However, the little drainboard ridges are a right royal PITA. Each one has to be cleaned out with my finger wrapped with a cloth, or a toothbrush. Also, I don't really need the divided sink; the single sink would have been plenty. HTH.

It has been hacked as an undermount sink.

We've had one for 7 years and love it. I never thought about wiping crumbs into it- I guess I've just gotten used to shaking the rag out over the sink. But it's a galley kitchen so half our counters aren't continuous anyway.

Re the ridges, I agree they're annoying. I've found a wet dish brush (Ikea sells a $1 one w/ a suction cup at one end) sweeps stuff into the sink pretty easily. I've always wondered why the single domsjo doesn't have ridges and the double does...

I don't like the square shape of the single, plus since we'll have 12'8" of counter on the long wall, it seems that despite the double being huge, it might actually be better proportioned for the space? It will also be centered on a 76" wide window

If you're open to cast iron drop in sinks, this Kohler Riverby (single basin, offset drain) is a great value. Lowe's Kohler Drop-In Riverby. It requires a minimum 36" wide base cab.

It retails for $259. We bought ours on sale for $200.

You can undermount the Domsko farmhouse sink and have the best of both worlds! I personally don't like giant sinks but my friend has the Domsko and loves it.

Here are some undermount Domsko pics and links:

I really like the dusty coyote undermount because it's a true hack. The first one, cape27blog, drills new holes and it seems kind of complicated. The dusty coyote actually installed it as a drop-in, but cut notches in the cabinet so the sink sets lower than the counters. That's what I call an awesome hack! I love it so much I think I'm going to do that. I agree that sinks are trending bigger. I think there's two kinds of people who like these gigantic farmhouse sinks. A) the DIY/crafty folks, whom I think are gaining numbers daily, and who actually use the sinks for big pots/pans/sheets because they cook and bake their own stuff, and also use it for their various craft projects (not to mention dog washing), and B) people who like big sinks because big sinks are trendy and therefore, the bigger the better, LOL! Steve, I agree that with 12+ ft of continuous counter space, a large sink like the Domsjo double would be nice to break up the line visually. A smaller sink would look dwarfed and be lost in a counter that long. Hahaha, your counter is almost as long as my house is wide! :-) I also like the stuff IKEA sells to go with the sink, namely, the colander and the cutting board which sit on the top of the sink, making it uber useful as a prep station, although if you install it as an undermount, I'm not sure how they would fit.

Well for me a big part of the reason I'm considering this sink is because it's a drop in that is counter depth deep, so I wouldn't need to cut a hole in butcher block for the sink, or have butcher block on the edge of an undermount sink constantly getting wet. Plus it would save me a seam in the counter.

So I'm mostly interested in people's experiences with this sink or another kind of sink like it where the high edge prevents you from sweeping anything into the sink. If I was to go the undermount route I would likely not use this sink and instead get a 28" stainless undermount.

The sweeping part is true with all drop ins which are pretty common. I can't stand 'em.

Have you really never had a drop in before, even in a bathroom? This one is better because you don't have to deal with front and backs, but otherwise, no different.

I've always liked that sink. And I love how dropins in general have a nice deck for faucets and stuff--modern undermounts make you drill holes in the counter when I prefer all that stuff be in the sink (the old tile-under sinks didn't). Much neater!

We have the Domsjo double sink and it is absolutely amazing. No complaints what so ever. It is huge, and exactly what we wanted. Don't mind sliding crumbs into my hand and just throwing them into the sink. 3 extra seconds. big woop!

There is a HUGEEE cost savings with using the Domsjo sink. So the sink is 27x37 inches. That is 7 sqft. If you were getting an undermount sink, you'd have to buy the slab that goes across the sink PLUS pay for them to cut a hole in it. So assuming a granite/quartz around $60, the sink cutout just cost you $420 for the material to cut, plus $150 for the cutout labor. So about $600. Plus the cost of a comparable sink (at minimum $500-600). So, the Ikea Domsjo is $312 and no cost of cutout or the material to cut out of. Whereas you are at $1100 minimum for undermount. SAVE YOUR MONEY and use it for awesome countertops, backsplash tiles, better appliance, etc. :)

No complaints here, either. The extra depth really helps, too.

Thanks!

For the life of me I can't find the actual interior dimensions of the bowls online, can anyone measure theirs for me to save me a trip to Ikea? :) Also depth too please thanks!

make sure its the dimensions of sektion not akurum. i think there was a slight sink dimension change too.

We have this sink in our summer house with a butcher block counter and we love it!!

thanks!!
