Review on Sarlai 32 Inch Undermount Workstation Kitchen Sink With Ledge, Deep Single Bowl, R10 Tight Radius, 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Basin by Gabriel Rosenberg

This is indeed a beautiful sink but be sure to ask the right questions so you won’t be disappointed! Prior to purchasing this sink I did a thorough comparison and decided that this sink was a great value for the money. I loved the presentation and was especially pleased with the drain accessories that came with the sink. The sink included a basket, stopper and a sleek-looking drain cover which many of the other sinks in this quality and price range did not.We intended to use a garbage disposal so I looked at the questions and noticed that the seller had responded to another customer saying that it included a drain for a garbage disposal. Sold! I purchased the sink and was so pleased to receive it and have my contractor install it.what a lovely sink! We were so disappointed, however-to find that we could NOT use the drain or accessories that came with the sink. We had to use the cheap, black, plastic stopper that came with it and sadly boxed up and stored the basket, stopper and drain cover as none of them worked with the 1/2 HP Insinkerator that we purchased. Had we posed the APPROPRIATE question and were told no, we had to use the drain/flange that accompanied the garbage disposal-I might have chosen a different sink, perhaps opting for one that didn’t include accessories that I’m certain I paid for and could not use.Despite that disappointment, we are very happy with this 32” Sarlai under-mount sink. It is large and deep, and the built-in accessories for the top lip of the sink are very unique and as described. The cutting board is dark in tone and is a good, snug fit. The drainer consists of stainless rods inserted in a rubber stripping that fits smoothly along the lip of the sink, allowing one to wash dishes and rinse them while utilizing the drainer at the same time. We get lots of use out of the basket which can be used for rinsing vegetables or defrosting meat. It’s very quiet, too as the outer walls of the sink are well-padded. It was suggested to us by our plumber that we wipe it down before initial use with a stainless cleaner and polish and to do this at least weekly if not after each use to keep the nice sheen of the sink. The screen included with the sink is so nice to have but sits about an inch from the bottom of the sink. You’d be surprised how much water one needs to use to get the level of the water above the screen of the 32”single bowl model. We use a plastic dishpan with ours when doing a small amount of dishes so as not to use quite so much water. The screen does keep the sink from scratching when washing larger, heavy items such as stove grates or pots.Overall we are very happy with the purchase. Response from the seller was timely.
