Apron Sink-Shaw or Kohler Whitehaven
Comments (29)I bought a rohl 30" apron sink online for around the same price as white haven. The crazing cracking issue is because of over tightening when installing. Talk to the plumber and make sure someone who has done a farm sink nstalled ion many times before should be the one to do it. Also all farm sinks have variations. For the tightest fit without gaps, your cabinet guys need the actual sink on hand to build the sink cabinet right. A couple of things I would have done differently - got a 36" sink as the 30" is awfully tight for baking sheets and cookie trays. The sink does not slope/ drain well. It is a minor annoyance that I have to chase the dredges around to get it into the drain hole. My DH who is the main user of the sink is not bothered with this. You definitely need a good quality pull down faucet. The waterstone PLP we have which swings around and has a good pull down sprayer is very useful. I would have really hated a bridge faucet here. I would definitely get the extra deep flange for the sink and the sink grid. Both are very useful....See MoreFaucet for Kohler Whitehaven sink

Comments (23)Hi Marissa, that is correct the Kohler cast iron plant had a fire which will delay their products by a long lead time. That being said, when they finally are up and running, they will be slow to get orders out just by personal experience... Other suggestions I have been selling are Rohl Shaws Original or a Franke 36" Single Bowl Fireclay. I have put the information for the sinks below. Goodluck! =) http://www.rohlhome.com/Kitchen/Product_Detail.aspx?ProductID=RC36182018&Collection=1615&SubCollection=1639&ConnectionString=%22Search.RC3618%22 https://www.franke.com/us/en/ks/products/kitchen-sinks/farm-house/130-0079-641_detail.html...See MoreKohler Whitehaven sink durability
Comments (17)I had a Kohler Whitehaven in my previous home. The new home I am in now came with a stainless steel kitchen sink. The stainless steel sink is I think the sink where you never have a concern about caring for it other than cleaning it as usual. You can't damage it as far as I can tell. Nevertheless, I loved my Whitehaven sink. It was so pretty, it was a cheerful white. I did use the grate for the Whitehaven, it's a must with enameled cast iron, though I am finding I like not using a grate with my current SS sink. If I ever re-do this kitchen (it is a definite future project), I will struggle with whether to get a SS sink or another Whitehaven. You can't go wrong with either, as long as you are careful to get good quality SS sink cause there are a lot of crappy SS sinks out there. My current home has a good one. Still, when I renovate, I think I might end up with the Whitehaven again. I would not have a double bowl sink. Both the sinks I am talking about are single bowl sinks. Just thinking about the divider mentioned in the above comment takes me back to my low-rent college apartment with a double bowl sink, no no no!...See MoreJake The Wonderdog
