Not bad; tough color.

You'll be fixing those square edges, especially at the sink.

Here's a bad seam with a split in it with knarly repairs in a fancy downtown Tampa lawyer's conference table. I won't fix it but I'll build him a new one. Poor design. Again.

The countertop was removed as installers cut it wrong and the sink was crooked. One sink’s edge side was 7 to the edge of the counter top other was 6 5/8. So smart installer came back and cut front of the counter top to match 6 5/8 and that’s what you see on the photo. Of course this was a joke and unacceptable. Right now there is nothing there and I am waiting for a new one.

Is that what you meant when you mentioned the edges?

No. You have a sharp 90* edge detail which is prone to chipping.

The seam is fine. The sink setback isn’t. Someone crammed s too big sink into a too small cabinet and didn’t scoop the sides to get it pulled properly forward. That’s on your cabinet people.

I am a fabricator. Seam is acceptable. Edge profile is questionable and, IMHO, simply wrong for the sink. Additionally, the sink is much too far back from the edge. In my shop we would've called the customer after the CAD layout was complete to tell them the sink was unsuitable for that location due to the excessive setback required. Maybe they did that and the customer said "go ahead" anyway but a sink rail is typically 4" or less.

Is this a laundry room sink because that looks like a washing machine. If so then the setback and edge profile might not matter as much.

yes i told them to make the sink as much forward as possible and thats all i got. i needed to have a big sink as i have barely any room in that kitchen so the left side is useful when drying stuff. I got bad luck and found wrong people to do the job.

It’s hard to tell but it looks like the sink may actually be too large for the space. It’s not useable, as far as I am concerned, that far back in the counter.

You only have room for a 25” single sink in that cabinet. If you wanted that size sink, the cabinet would be 48” in both directions. Corner sinks waste an enormous amount of space. Nothing to do with the counter guy. All to do with your KD’s ina ilitiy to design correctly, and the limited choices in your chosen cabinet line. Maybe even you if you insisted on cramming that thing in there when it obviously is too large for the cabinet.

So is it a Kitchen sink or a Laundry Sink? It's unclear. (You answered "yes" to the Laundry sink question but then talked about a Kitchen sink.)

If it's a Kitchen sink, then...

What OldRyder and Sophie Wheeler said! I would even go so far as to say the setback shouldn't be any more than 3" deep! The problem is that you will have to lean too far forward while working at the sink and it will take a toll on your back -- expect back issues!

About that sink in general...you would be much better off with a large single-bowl sink and properly placed - you can always dry things on the counter. They make folding dish drains that can be put away when not in use.

Two-bowl 50/50 sinks rarely have decent size bowls -- they're usually too narrow for larger items and too wide for smaller tasks. If your sink base could handle a 36" wide sink, then I would recommend a 60/40 or 70/30 so the bowl sizes are useful. However, your sink base cannot handle that wide a sink, so a single-bowl would be better for you.

I would seriously consider changing to a single-bowl sink -- if it's not too late, that is. Yes, it's installed, but maybe something can be done after the fact? Unfortunately, it would mean re-doing the counters, which I suspect your KD and/or contractor won't be willing to do on their "dime".

guys , thank you all for the comments. I definitely made a mistake and got wrong sink as this is what i had before and it worked fine. Previous setback was around 5". Unfortunately when i spoke to the cabinet person he went with me to his warehouse and tried if that sink would fit. It did fit but no one ever said that the setback was too much. Then the counter top person came and i told him that i want to move the sink forward as much as possible and he said that they will might need to cut the corners of the cabinet but it should work. Unfortunately they screwed it the first time and cut the hole at the wrong angle, Then they came back and re-measured and cut it even more forward and now i have longer setback. I blame myself for allowing this to happen. I had reservations about this sink and was not sure if they can do it right. It was supposed to be a kitchen i wanted to like and now i hate it as the most important part is screwed. I can only blame myself for choosing wrong people for the job. I believe if i would work with the best they would never allow me to make this mistake.

So now i have to start saving money and redo it at some point.

Thank you again for all the advice.

bwspot:

Unfortunately, yours is a perfect example of when a contractor should have saved a homeowner from themselves. One of the most valuable things you can hear from a contractor is "No. We aren't doing it that way." Homeowners wielding a check like a sledgehammer would be wise to take note here.

Hi Bwspot,

I'm so sorry, I LOVE my corner sink! In our 48 Sq meter apartment, it was a must.

Can you stand back further and post another picture? Just curious..

bwspot, so sorry that this happened. I agree with Joe that the contractor should have "saved you from yourself" so to speak. Probably best to not hire them for another job. :-(

Yep he wont be coming back but unfortnatelly he has to finish. Amazing how those contractors waste their time by doing bad job and later fixing everything due to customer compains. I could write a story about this job. People who dont care about the details will never do any precise work. I am a perfectionist but I picked someone who does not give a damn. Should never listen to my friends recommendation.

Everytme i work with people they tell me i pay too much attention to details.

i mentioned many times how I wanter the sink to be but no one listened.

Wasted 15k!!!

I decided to forgive those people and will move on.

Janie,

Here are two extra photos.

i am slowly adjusting to this setup.

i am still waiting for the titles work to be finished but I don’t have a choice but accept the sink for now. I dont have budget to fix IT which means redoing IT.

The only option I see is to remove the sink and replace with the top mount sink. It seems like that it might work by cutting some stone in front and on the sides and dropping the sink from the top.

I will review that option some day.
