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

Good product for the price

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.

Very well built! Included template and instructions make installation (in my case, building the cabinet from scratch) very easy. They assume you are doing a retro-fit into an existing cabinet and that makes it great for remodelers. Sound deadening material works well and keeps it from sounding like the sinks back in the day which were very noisy. This is a heavy gauge, beefy sink for those who have no use for that darn divider!

Need to return this item. Terrible Company with Awful customer services.

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.

Beautiful sink and easy to install! Installed myself without any prior experience. It was a perfect fit and totally changed out kitchen!

I've always had standard depth two-basin sinks, and never gave much thought to different styles. However, a couple years ago, someone close to me purchased a deep single-basin sink, and I was practically spellbound. It made everything easier, from washing pots to working with produce. It even made the perfect bath for a small dog, without the painful bending over in a bathtub. That sink is a stone material, which I honestly prefer, but stainless fits what I have in my kitchen. This Strive sink is beautiful, but in a subdued way that doesn't assert itself too strongly. That makes it fit with essentially any fixtures and kitchen design. The finish is premium and arrived safely with no scratches. One thing I would change is to shift the drain to one side rather than centered. Sinks with that design have a wide flat area to work with without worrying about covering the drain. This is my first apron sink installation, but I've installed a few traditional sinks and found this similar in difficulty. The self-trimming feature means that the apron portion is notched out, hiding rough edges in the same way door framing does. It is a great idea and gives a professional result with basic DIY skills. For the current price, this sink is honestly a hard sell. There are much less expensive apron sinks, including some with the same metal gauge. Still, the finish of this sink is impressive and if this is the style you want, it will likely please you.
