Lordear Gold Farmhouse Sink 33 inch Farmhouse Kitchen Sink Apron Front 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Deep Single Bowl Kitchen Farm Sinks Basin

Update: I highly recommend Lordear! They reached out to me to resolve the damaged sink issue. They definitely care deeply about their product and their customers. How wonderful it would be if more companies had such integrity!Next time we are in the market to buy a kitchen product, I would definitely buy from Lordear.Again, the biggest issue for us was that even though the sink is a beautiful high-quality farmhouse sink. it would be difficult to have it installed as a true drop-in sink due to the differing edging along the sides (flat along the back and partway up each side, but then solid to the bottom where the apron wraps around from the front. It COULD be done, but your installer would need good carpentry skills and your countertop guys would need to excel at precision and accuracy in making and finishing the cutout for the sink, especially if you--as we do--have stone counters. For this reason, the fact that the corners and one edge were slightly damaged and wouldn't sit flat along the countertop, our installer could not get it to work for us.I suspect the issue comes from shipping; even though it is well packed, the sink is VERY HEAVY (think 50-60 lbs inclusive of packages) and most of the time, UPS/USPS only has one person making deliveries. It's simply too unwieldy and heavy for one person to manage. Ours was left on our porch, so I didn't have a chance to inspect the package or even to talk to the delivery guy. I'm not sure how to resolve that with packaging, but I am confident Lordear will figure out a solution.Updating with more photos.I love the look of this sink. It is heavy, high-quality with good proportions and good sound insulation.I'm sad it looks like it won't work for us for two reasons.1) Ours is defective. It looks as if the front apron is separating from the rest of the sink. There are big ridges along the top at both front inner corners and a tiny split along the top edge where the front meets the bowl-- right in the center of that edge. (Update: This probably happened from a drop impact during shipping; their engineers are investigating to find a solution.)2) It is listed as Drop-In or Undermount, but our kitchen contractor said it is undermount so won't work anyway with our stone counters.I could cry because I have been waiting so long for our countertops and our kitchen to finally be completed, and my beautiful Lordear cannot be installed.

After concern about ordering such a large expensive item through the mail I'm pleasantly surprised everything is perfect. Packaged well. Your cabinets and counter will have to be reshaped to accept this big beautiful sink but you'll love it and it will add value to your kitchen. The quality of this sink is top notch and seems very sturdy. Came with roll up dish rack not pictured. Professionally installed but carpenter and plumber said it was no problem, even though it was a drop in apron sink (laminate counter-tops). It is big and beautiful.

This sink is great and looks wonderful in my newly remodeled kitchen. It is very heavy and well made. Based on previous reviews, I made sure to examine it for dents, etc. but it arrived in perfect condition. Installation was easy and it fit the base cabinet perfectly. The only downside to the sink, which may just be the nature of these farmhouse-style sinks, is that you need a faucet with a longer reach because, if the faucet is on the narrower side, it will not reach to the middle of the sink. This is an issue because I have a narrower reaching faucet and I have to pull the spray nozzle out to wash dishes, otherwise it pours down the back of the sink, water runs along the sides, and spills onto the kitchen floor. This is more of a design issue of this style of sink and not a flaw in this particular model, though. If you are considering buying a farmhouse-style sink, I would just suggest buying a faucet that has a nozzle which will reach further towards the middle of the sink. Otherwise, very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend.

Great product! Looks great, great value and scratch resistance!

Absolutely love, love this sink. We have had it now for about a year as part of a complete gut job, kitchen remodel. It is HUGE & gorgeous. So easy to keep clean, especially with the amazing perfect fitting grate. The only thing we did not realize (buyer error in not measuring) was the front apron sticks out quite a bit, so just be sure to measure! We had plenty of room but it was a bit shocking when installed at how large it juts out. Now that we have been using it for about a year I love how much it sticks out as it adds to the overall size. The amount of space inside the sink is hard to describe! Love the color as well. Lastly the customer service is above & beyond. We had a question & the response was quick & great answer. We will be doing a small kitchen in our basement next year & hope to be able to use another product by this brand, not sure the kitchen size can support this large of a sink but if the design works we will use this exact product again.

I love the look of this sink. The color is great. BUT it does NOT drain. There is no slope to it and everything stays in the corners. When you shoot water at it with the faucet ( which you have to have to reach the sides) it creates a vortex and the only way to move food from the side or corner is use your hand. I wish I had found another brand. Sad because I do love the dark gun metal color.
