Install a Kohler 3943. When the wait is over, have them switched out. Not a big deal, and no, your tops don't have to be removed. $700.00 or so.

Probably backordered because it was highlighted in this month's issue of This Old House magazine (p. 69, top right).

Unfortunately the Kohler plant that makes this sink burnt down. I assume they are trying to get equipment in place at another plant or rehab the burnt plant to get production going again.

I love my Kohler Whitehaven and perhaps you can do what Joseph suggested.

This is a quartz sink by Elkay which is similar - it does not have the decorative front:

I don't know what the durability of a quartz sink is - Joseph, do you know?

I recently had this same issue with a Kohler Riverby and posted on here. They had a plant catch fire several months ago and it's still not back up running.

Someone said to start calling around and asking local suppliers, which I did. I went on the Kohler website to find suppliers and just starting calling. I located a few in California (through local shops) that would ship, but eventually found one in Dallas for less $$.

Pick up the phone and expand your search far and wide. Places ship. Good luck! I was on edge until I finally had the thing in my hands lol.

Thank you Design & Build -- I called every single one of them in addition to at least 50 more. There are none to be had in the entire Country.

I'm going to order a Franke Sink because there is a 4-month wait for the Whitehaven.

Thanks for your help

Since you have a little time, please think about whether you want the bridge faucet you pictured. I understand the appeal of the look, but there are a lot of traditional single-handle faucets too.

Here is a recent thread on this exact subject: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-bridge-faucets-yay-or-nay-dsvw-vd~5284485?n=54[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-bridge-faucets-yay-or-nay-dsvw-vd~5284485?n=54)

HI, I just looked online and it looks like Home Depot Canada has the sink in stock. Do you have any good friends in Canada who could buy it for you? Maybe try calling some plumbing supply places in Canada as well. I'm sure many would ship to the US if needed. It might cost more $$ but sounds like you have your heart set on that sink and a tight timeline to have it. By the way, the model Home Depot Canada has online is 6488. Remember that the forex rate is about $0.78 right now, so your American dollars go a lot further in Canada.

Though you did not ask, Newport Brass does not have a fantastic track record for quality faucets- especially in light of their price. You may want to consider an alternative faucet. There are many that look similar.

Perrin and Rowe makes a bridge faucet is the standard in the look you are going for- and the price is the same as your Newport Brass. I would also look at Kohler, Brizo and Kallista.

Do you think they rebuilt the factory in Germany in the 2 months that's passed since the last post?

Sandra -

Nope -- I got the 36" Franke sink which looks great! Maybe now they'll start getting some Kohler orders filled.

Mjamm, that looks beautiful! Sink, faucet, and everything!

So glad it all worked for you in the end.

Looks great. For those that are asking, Kohler is still having trouble getting orders filled. Just about every product line has backorders right now.

I was promised a Whitehaven in 45 days, it took double that, but it was perfect.
