This is a pretty basic sink but it's a nice sink. The stainless steel, on the side that matters, aka the inside, is very nice. The part that doesn't show appeared to be a bit dirty, as you can see in the picture, but ultimately it doesn't matter. I really liked the template provided for the purpose of ease of install. It's a nice sink and removing it from the box was not an effort in itself. I'm looking forward to replacing my sink with this once I can get someone scheduled to do it.

I have installed the sink into my RV. I originally was just going to replace my existing sink, but after seeing how beautiful it is, I changed my entire game plan. I was changing from a top mount sink to this under mount and after the easy install, I decided to get new countertops to go with. I have my eye on a new faucet at Home Depot that will go wonderfully and thinking of doing a quartz countertop to match. The sink is extremely lightweight even though it is double the depth of my original sink.

This is a good sized sink if you're installing it on an corner "angle sink base" type cabinet. It's about the largest sink you can get for that type of cabinet without having to set it back too far. The design of the flange makes it easy to get close but also gives you lots of area for supports to hold on to. The sink has a nice finish and looks and feels good quality. It comes with the template. Instructions indicate it's compatible with a wide array of different cleaners, including Barkeeper's Friend which I appreciated because that's one of my favorite cleaners for tough stainless steel stains. One thing to be aware of is the product description and pictures might need to be updated regarding the undercoating. What I'm looking at now is a sink that has some sort of grey textured coating that goes around the outside of the sink and over the sound deadening pads. The sink I (and apparently others based on photos) received doesn't have an undercoating as shown. It does have sound deadening pads on the bottom and sides though.

Elkay undermount stainless steel sink are great they have sound barrier pads on them that really works good. the quality is very good. I replaced another sink with this one so install was very easy. When you install on new job I would buy this sink and have the counter top guy install it. I really like this under counter mount sink looks great and no leaks. I also installed a garbage disposal fit perfect no leaks. Nice sink

I love this sink. The Elkay brand has been around for a while and for good reason. Quality. The undermount style and stainless steel in the 24 inch size fits my 30 inch vanity wonderfully. The single bowl suits my purposes and the thickness of the material will hold up nicely for a long time. I will be installing this as soon as the plumbing is complete. Recommended.

Sometimes you can mount an "undermount" on top of the counter ... but not this one. It's very definitely an undermount only sink. That said, it's a very nice small sink and once placed in the right spot, should give you many, many years of good use. We use them in the small kitchens of our ThinHaus tiny houses on wheels (THoW) and find that they work out very well. Pro Tip: make sure the counter has the faucet holes drilled in the right spots before you set the sink. Consider putting in the faucet first as the space between the sink and the wall can be tight.

Well crafted and beautiful sink. This Elkay sink is sturdy (18ga stainless steel). The satin finish is flawless. The sink also has sound deadening pads and is compatible with most garbage disposals. Installation is made easy with the instructions and full size template, both of which were included with the sink. Sink cleans easily with regular dishwashing soap. I used an Elkay sink strainer and it fit perfectly. It is necessary to acquire undermount sink clips appropriate for the type of countertop surface you are using. This is the second Elkay sink I have installed and we are very happy with the appearance and performance.

just the ticket!
I was dealing with building that was over 100 years old and finding a sink to fit the existing home proved to be quite the challenge but this worked well and I cant complain about the price it did what I wanted it to do.

    I have had and installed stainless double bowl and single bowl sinks in the past, but they were all light and tinny. This product is quite substantial in weight and seems to be able to withstand all jobs in the kitchen without worrying about dents. It has been insulated so the noise factor of the metal sink has diminished.

    This is a beautiful stainless steel sink . We just put in a new kitchen and this came just in time. The sink looks just like it did in the pictures. The color is very sophisticated and doesn't show fingerprints much. It works well in our corner cabinet, it's installed undermount. It looks great with my stainless steel appliances. I'm thrilled with this sink

    Sinking
    First, I am not a big fan of stainless steel, however after I saw this sink in the store I was sold. I like the rounded corners and the dept. Excellent for washing large pots and pans.

    Great discovery
    I never even heard of this brand. I only bought it because it was the dept my plumber asked me to provide. It turned out to be such a good choice. It looks great and it seems to be a better quality than any sink I have ever had. Very happy with my purchase.

    Five is not enough stars for this sink, unquestionably the absolute best I've bought in at least a week. Hard to imagine there could ever be a sink better than this, which holds water and dirty dishes at the same time, but also clean soapy water, or nothing! It's absolute sinkness is just a wonder to experience, words fail me. With this sink, washing up is the best part of the meal!
