KRAUS Kore Workstation 45-inch Undermount Stainless Steel Sink - Space

In this review of the KRAUS Kore Workstation 45-inch sink, the bottom line is simple: if you need a large, durable single bowl sink with integrated prep features that keep counters uncluttered, this is a strong contender. The standout reason to buy is the built-in workstation ledge that accepts the included cutting board, roll-up drying rack and colander so you can prep and clean directly over the basin. The reviewer found the heavy-duty 16 gauge stainless steel construction and full accessory kit make it especially useful for busy kitchens where versatility and a seamless undermount installation are priorities.

Key Features

• Integrated workstation ledge: Lets sliding accessories sit securely over the sink to save counter space and speed up prep and cleanup tasks.
• Large single bowl: The 43 in by 16 in bowl provides room for big pots and pans and makes washing large items easier than a divided sink.
• Complete sink kit included: The package includes a cutting board, roll-up dish rack, colander, drying rack, two bottom grids and drain assembly so the sink is ready to use on install day.
• Undermount installation: Creates a seamless edge with the countertop so crumbs and water can be wiped straight into the bowl for simpler cleaning.
• TRU16 heavy gauge steel: The 16 gauge stainless finish offers a solid feel and durable surface that stands up to everyday kitchen use.

Who It's For

The Kore Workstation suits homeowners and cooks who want a roomy single bowl sink and the flexibility of a built-in workstation for prep tasks. It is especially useful in kitchens where counter space is limited and an undermount installation is preferred for a clean look.

Those who prefer a double-bowl layout for simultaneous soaking and prep, or who need a smaller sink for a compact bar or prep area, should look elsewhere. Also consider alternatives if a different finish is required, since customer experiences vary on long-term surface appearance.
