Review on 🚰 VALISY 15Γ—20 inch Stainless Steel Square Topmount Workstation Kitchen Bar Sink – Versatile Single Basin Design with Dish Grid, Drain, and Cutting Board by Don Kishore

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The edge needs to be beveled.

Very nice sink stand. We built a van out of it. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not 5 is because it was advertised as top or bottom. The edge of the sink is better beveled so that it can be installed from above. It's WAY too sharp and will eventually cut someone's fingers. This forced me to add a rather unsightly silicone bead to the rim of the sink for added protection for my wife and children. The edge is also much higher than any other top mount due to the lack of an end bevel. I would return it if I could but it is already installed and I had to cut a very specific size hole in the countertop to install it. So I'm going to stick with that hideous silicone bead around the sink, not the clean look. All this to say that I had to drill through the metal for an additional reverse osmosis drinking faucet (also purchased from Revain). I have drilled through different types of metal hundreds of times in my life so I have a lot of experience. And I have top knot drills. This metal was STRONG. It destroyed 2 hole saws, 3 step drills, and 2 DeWalt Titanium bits before I could finally drill through the metal for a 1/2" hole. That's why I gave 3 stars instead of 1. Nice shell, high quality metal would have deserved 5 stars. Only the lack of a beveled edge lowers it to a 1, but the quality and aesthetics then bring it back to a 3. If the manufacturers are reading this...please adjust the finish to have a beveled edge for safety. If you use this sink as a stand it bakes very well and is a very good quality sink.
