KOHLER K-5417-NA Strive Self-Trimming Undermount Medium Single-Bowl Kitchen Sink with Tall Apron, 29 1/2 x 21 1/4", Stainless Steel

I just completed a full kitchen renovation. I bought this because the price was much lower then the same item in the showrooms I had visited. When the package arrived I was very nervous as it had obviously been opened and resealed with brown packing tape over the original clear packing tape. The box was slightly damaged and water stained (lite it had been sitting on a basemen floor someplace). I opened it up expecting the worst...but it was in perfect condition. It had the original safety wrapping on the sink. I love it and it really looks great!

I like, don't love, this sink. It wasn't clear in the description that the sink was brushed stainless. By the time my remodel was ready for the sink install, it was too late for a return. Stupid mistake. I should've opened the box upon receipt. That being said the sink looks nice. I've found that it scratches quite easily so it won't look nice for long. I also find it hard to keep it looking clean. Water does not bead and run off of the sides, so the sink usually looks dirty unless I dry the entire sink with a towel. No water spot protection as far as I can tell. Personal opinion here... I can not stand the rack that sits in the bottom of the sink. Silverware falls through and gets trapped, so I keep a bucket in the sink to collect silverware. It also makes it a pain to clean the sink. The rack does, however, keep the sink safe from most damage. I've been looking since install for a silicone mat to replace the rack. Apparently this sink is a special size, along with a not typical drain location. No joy yet, not even from Kohler. Purchased this sink in 2024 for $340. Lowest price that I could find at the time. Was selling elsewhere for $1k and more. I got lucky.

Scratches very easily. I do enjoy that it drains water so nicely though due to tapering toward drain. Fairly easy to install also.

We selected this sink as part of our kitchen remodel. We are very happy with it. I like the size and depth of the sink—it accommodates large pots and pans and cookie sheets. We have received lots of compliments on the way it looks as well. No regrets that we purchased this.

Bought and returned. Replaced with a Kraus of same gauge. No comparison, especially since the Kraus was 1/3 or more less in price. The stainless finish on the Kohler was crude compared to the richer finish on the Kraus. Also, the protective plastic left a discoloration that would not come off, even using technique given to us over the phone by Kohler. Lastly, for sound dampening, the Kohler simply had small pads glued on. The Kraus had a thick sprayed on coating that is very effective. Look at (and probably go for) a Kraus or some other higher quality. My $.02- YMMV
