## Description

Cook, serve, and entertain in style with KRAUS® Kore™ Workstation Sinks. Offering a bold new color option for stainless steel, the Black PVD Gunmetal finish has a striking modern appearance that makes a statement in any space. Engineered with an integrated ledge to support custom sliding accessories, this sink creates a multifunctional workspace to streamline your kitchen tasks from meal prep to cleanup. Ideal for maximizing space in smaller kitchens, the workstation kit includes a durable bamboo cutting board/sink cover that extends your countertop space by allowing you to chop and slice right over the sink. Kore™ sinks are made with KRAUS TRU16™ stainless steel – our thickest 16-gauge steel – for maximum durability. Wear-resistant DuraShield™ PVD finish provides enhanced resistance to abrasion and corrosion, with sandblasted matte texture that helps prevent water spots and fingerprints. Undermount installation creates a seamless transition between sink and countertop, with no exposed mounting deck to trap food and debris. The high-capacity single bowl offers ample space for large cookware and stacks of dishes. Thick NoiseDefend™ sound dampening pads help absorb noise and vibration. Rounded corners reduce buildup over time for easy cleaning. Channel grooves and a sloped bottom help improve drainage, with a rear-set drain that adds storage space under the sink. The installation-ready kit comes with mounting hardware, bottom grid, and a drain assembly with matching cover

Review: Way more than I expected! - I bought this sink because it was both the size I needed and it was a good in between of a single bowl sink and a split, 2-bay sink. The low divider lets me easily wash cookie sheets and other long things, but the divider lets me have a wash side and dry side. That was the reason I picked it out. Now that I have it installed and have started using it, I like it so much more than that. The accessories are so nice and useful. I love the bottom of sink racks and the drying rack to allow for lots of hand-wash dish drying room. The drain covers look super nice. The cutting board over the sink will help with keeping messes contained. I’ll probably buy the colander too. Really I hadn’t paid any attention to the accessories when picking this out, and am now so happy to have it all. Never thought of a sink being so much more functional than just being a sink. The quality of everything feels excellent. I expect it to be extremely durable and beautiful for years.
Review: In process of getting the sink installed - Overall there is nothing not to like about the sink and the really neat accessories. However, the cutting boards are all bamboo, a yellow bamboo. The advertising pamphlet that came with the sink and some of the videos and even the online pictures show other woods, maybe acacia, being used for the cutting board material and I would have rather had those. I'm considering modifying better looking cutting boards with my router, sander and table saw to get that look. If given an option, I would have chosen the accessories in the other wood and paid more. Bamboo looks cheap and delaminates easily. The sink doesn't take up my whole 48" base cabinet, it's lip is the 45" measurement and the sink itself is 43ish inches. It's still huge and worth considering getting 2 faucets which feels overly opulent. I'm using kraus faucet as seen in the video and an RO faucet, I'm on the fence about adding a second. I have the extendable spray head but it doesn't reach the very corners physically, though the spray pattern with good water pressure would. I just don't have great water pressure with my well system. I am going to ask the countertop installers to mount the sink with more angle, potentially swimming it another 16th of and inch down on the drain side and sanding down the plywood base under the countertop. This would enhance the drainage on the slope. I believe a reviewer with poor drainage may have had a countertop install or mounting of this sink with the wrong slope, mitigating the built in angle of slope in the sink. I will update with photos when it is installed. I've never had such an enormous sink. I can't wait to do my prep work in the sink area and save the spillage and the debris from my surrounding counters. This sink will be used to facilitate large canning projects, processing large volumes of citrus for juice and day to day baking and cooking, and of course washing dishes, especially large pots. Update: Sink installed. The water doesn't drain as another reviewer mentioned.not enough contour and negative contour result in large pockets of water standing and consequently leaving waters pots as evaporation in my dry climate occur. We have waited the customary 24 hours before installing and the counters are pretty level, a 1/16 over 30 inch expanse in drop from back of counters to front does exist. We will be adding a 13lb garbage disposal soon and I am hoping this assists in drainage, especially from the right front corner. Where water just sits. I'll be using rain X to hopefully assist with water beading and cleanup. Looks like I need a shower squeegee to clean this 1000 sink (with tax). I will suggest you get with your countertop installers and you slightly shim your sink and check the level to assist with drainage I may be able to add extra support to my sink front and level out the 1/16 of an inch. This pool of standing water in the front of the sink is ridiculous. Overall, it's a very cool, grand statement sink that you can bathe 2 year old twins within, but it doesn't drain well even though it is contoured and sloped. Update: now the sink is fully functioning. Has the disposal installed: which means you don't get to use their nice deep drain that is included and fits their cap and drain basket, and the water and the food particulate definitely pools over 1/8" in the front right corner vs going into the drain. So you must have an extending spray nozzle to clean that all up. The pooling issues and the reluctant drainage has prompted me to buy a squeegee. I now have a squeegee in my sink, suctioned onto the side and I wash dishes etc then squeegee the puddles into the drain. Definitely what I was hoping for, but I am enjoying having all the room for things to drain into the sink at the other end. So, you will lose the convenience of a sink that drains well and gain the convenience of a chopping surface and a drying rack and a Hollander etc that all drain into the sink instead of onto your counters. Make sure you have your stainless steel cleaner and you have your spot remover. It's going to be a lot more cleaning with this sink. I'm considering rainX to deflect some droplets.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish and functional. Good quality.
*by N***E on November 20, 2025*

I love the sink.. It looks stylish and I like how wide and deep it is. I was concerned about having corners that were not rounded, but it’s not a problem at all. Also, I thought all the extra accessories were unnecessary but now that I have them, I love them. I particularly love the drying rack.
