Hi/low, porcelain on cast iron, undermount in black checked all the required boxes for our kitchen remodel.
Awesome, heavy, Hi/Lo sink. Hi lo sinks difficult to find, left (low) side large and right (high) side impossible to find. Our Dishwasher is to the right of the sink were the garbure disposal is located. Literally, Kohler is the ONLY supplier to make these particular characteristics.
On top of all the goodness above, the porcelain on cast iron proves to be more durable than the granite composite. Every granite composite review we viewed indicated some type of complaint of surface degradation. Many were because the user didn't read/follow the care and use instructions which stated bleach and/or abrasive are NOT to be used. No soft scrub, no bleach, no 'harsh' chemicals, what ever those are. The wife acquired some foam mats that keep everything off the porcelain, eliminating chips and scars. We could not be happier with the production finish and the anticipated long useful life. While considerably more expensive than the granite composite sinks, our POV is we will enjoy this one for many years to come. Be advised that some who reviewed this sink indicated poor quality of the finish. Having read these 2-4 year old reviews, we inspected our sink on arrival. Kohler has evidently corrected the quality problem as ours is perfect, no flaws.

Does not last the way they say
Our house came with the black version. It has not held up the way you'd think. Especially for what it costs. The middle section has really lost it's finish, again, not what you'd expect from Kohler. We've been in our house for two years and it was already here. The previous owners were in this house for another 2 years so we suspect it was the original owners who remodeled before selling. Our house is only15yrs old. I will be contacting Kohler. The badge did manage to stay on until last year when it finally fell off.

Carlos, my name is Jessica with Kohler Customer Service. I am sorry to hear of the finish issues you are experiencing with your Executive Chef sink. The lost luster of a Enameled Cast Iron sink can be restored by cleaning it with Kohler Cast Iron Cleaner. The following link is to the Care and Cleaning guide: https://bit.ly/3aRyyge. Enameled surfaces can lose the original luster with improper care and cleaning. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended. If we may further assist you in any way, please contact our Customer Service team at KohlerCustServ@kohler.com. We are here to help. - Jessica P. Kohler Customer Service.

Love this sink and loved buying it from Home Depot!!! This sink also came very quickly after I ordered it. Other companies, including Kohler, had a wait time of 2-3 weeks! Love the double basin! Love washing dishes on one side and then setting it on the other side to drain/dry. Considered a single basin sink but it would use so much water to fill and I'm so glad I chose the double! I also bought the metal racks to protect the enamel and love those as well. It all looks beautiful!!!

If it’s in your budget buy this sink! It stays super clean, is a soft white color, and the split sizes work really well for a busy kitchen. The additional drainer in the left side keeps dirty dishes off the sink bottom so water flows easily around them (and helps keep the sink bottom clean). It also serves to keep drying dishes off the countertop. The left side depth is perfect for large sized skillets, deep pots and taller items like vases, water bottles and pitchers. The right side is where I placed my disposal and the size works great for food prep. In the past I’ve had stainless and acrylic sinks, neither of which matches the quality of a cast iron sink. If you are investing in new counters and a backsplash go for the best quality you can afford - a Kohler cast iron sink!

We have had the top mount version of the Executive Chef for 16 years and have absolutely loved it. Now we are upgrading to granite counter tops and it is time for a new under mount one. Especially like the left hand bowl that is deep enough to hide a few days of dishes in. These are very heavy, so plan on having one or preferably two strong backs to help with the install. The new sink isn't perfectly flat across the back top. Had I realized that in advance, I would have installed the frame a little deeper down in the cabinet.

Executive Chef is the best!
I've had three of these things but this is the first time it was undermount. It's an excellent sink the right hand sink is shallower than the left hand one I wish they still offered it. They were discontinued 3 years ago. You can only find remaining stock in a certain warehouses.

Just what we wanted
We have had this sink about 1 month. It is just what we needed. It was the only 4 hole sink available that was undermount. We love the fact that it is a double sink, and that one side is deep.

When we opened the box, it looked exactly like our current Kohler overmount sink. I had a plumber come by and he said it was overmount due to the rounding of the edges. On top of that, it wasn’t white like our old sink and it looked more like biscuit. We returned it. We later purchased another Kohler undermount sink, this time single basin, and it looked to be overmount and biscuit as well. We gave up on having a cast iron enamel sink and just bought a stainless steel sink from another brand.

Great sink
This is my third executive Chef sink in 30 years! I have the undermount this time. The one I just replaced was 21 years old and still looked new. Installed new counter tops with undermount sink. I buy the rack to go in the left side. Love the size and configuration of the sink.

Quality control was not there! Sink nicks very easily. If you actually want a sink you can use. Look elsewhere

It was a pain in the butt to install but not the products fault, that fault lies in my granite counter tops. It did take 3 deliveries before I got one that was not broken, sign of the times I guess. The sink is beautiful, meets/exceeds expectations.

Beautiful, large sink - perfectly proportioned. I was tempted to go with the farmhouse style sink, but decided I prefer to have a split sink. This was a fantastic choice and we especially love the basin rack that sits in the bottom of the larger side of the sink!

I am completely disappointed in the quality of this Kohler product. Sink was cracked in the enamel in two places. The finish of the inside of the sink looked like it went through a hail storm. Kohler sinks usually have very smooth bottom and sides. This sink had smooth ripples throughout. Home Depot was outstanding in returning this product. I appreciate Home Depot returning not one, but two Kohler sinks.
