Ruvati 33-inch Workstation Dual Tier Ledge Kitchen Sink Undermount 16 Gauge Stainless Steel - RVH8222

Feb 12, 2021 Update. I am still so in LOVE with this sink after a few years of use. I initially knocked off 1 star due to the error the manufacturer had with the template making others end up with a single tier rather than a double tier, however, it looks like another more recent reviewer noted the manufacturer has corrected that error since I had mine installed back in 2019.I am back on Amazon today to order another one of these sinks for our second kitchen in our home. I do see that the price has dropped by $100 so I'm extra thrilled. Even at the higher price it was worth every penny! The included racks/etc seem much better this time around as well. I am looking forward to the pasta bowl vs the extra square strainer thing. The quality is top notch but our extra basket/strainer thing stays packed away because I rarely use it.The only "negative" I have found with my current sink is the sharp 90 degree turns from the vertical to horizontal surface. It's a bit of a challenge to keep those sharp corners clean. However, as noted in my earlier review, I'm OCD so I use an old tooth brush to keep those corners clean.Before my first purchase I had been shopping around for months for just the right sink and kept running into the $2000 price ranges for the sinks I wanted. When I saw this sink on Amazon it was appealing at the much lower cost but I must admit I feared I would end up with lower quality for my desire to save some money. I was definitely wrong, as this sink is by far as good, if not better, than the $2000 sinks I almost purchased. This sink has definitely earned the additional 5th star rating it deserves, at least from my personal experience.Original review in 2019: We are in love with our new Ruvati sink. It is a beast. Although it is the same width as our prior 60/40 sink, it seems so much bigger without the center obstruction. The main reason I gave it 4 stars vs 5 is due to the incorrect template that is sent out with the sink. Thankfully I am persistent (OCD some say) about making sure everything is to the specification I want, I measured the sink vs the template upon arrival and realized if installed as the template stated/measured I too would only have one tier. I contacted the manufacturer about some negative reviews stating is is not a double tiered sink as advertised and the template also makes it a single tier. The manufacturer clarified if I left a 3/4 inch reveal on the front and back I would indeed have the double tier. I'm stumped as to why they make the template as a total 4 sided flush mount if that makes it a single tier, making one have to use some of the provided "attachments" across the top of their counter versus down inside on the above mentioned second tier. Why not make the template to measure out to be a double tiered sink if that is what they are advertising it as? It really makes no sense. After the conversation with the manufacturer I now know the negative reviews about it only being one tier are because those people assumed the template was correct. Very sad now that it's too late for them. When I took my sink information to my granite installer I made it crystal clear that they MUST add 3/4 inch reveal on top and bottom REGARDLESS what the manufacturer's template specified. I drew everything out on the template in bright red ink and used lots of highlighters to make absolutely certain the extra at top and bottom was not overlooked. Thankfully, since I'm a contractor by trade I have dealt with my granite installer for years so everything went smoothly and I have my two tiers! I hope that anyone else buying this sink in the future assuming all the instructions/template are designed for the two tiered sink that it is advertised to be, read my review and have the heads up before they have their new sink hole cut in their material of choice.UPDATE: Forgot to mention. If you are installing this sink and are working on the strainer that comes with it, the instructions state use foam washer then rubber washer then locknut. No where in the instructions does it state anything about the rubber washer being "different"....meaning it is ribbed on one side and smooth on the other side. My first attempt I did not pay attention and put the ribbed section facing down and the thing would never tighten fully and leaked every time. Since the instructions did not state it was important either direction I decided to take it all apart and reverse the direction of the rubber washer, making the ribbed section face up. This time it tightened perfectly and we have had no further leaks. Really wish this company would stipulate these little nuances in their instructions. Hopefully if you are reading this you will save yourself the headaches through trial and error we experienced. Again, the sink rocks and we love it...just wish the manufacturer would not leave so many choices unresolved for the end user.

Love this sink. It's large, deep enough, beautiful. I love that dishes don't pile up on the counter like they do with a small or divided sink. Any dish I have fits in this thing, love that! I use the bowl & strainer a lot, the cutting board some & the rest of the accessories not much, but I think that's a personal thing. I misplaced the dry rack before it was installed or I would use that daily.I thought the "sharp" corners would make it hard to clean but that's not an issue. If I leave a can in it overnight, it rusts just like any steel sink will, but it buffs out easier than other sinks I've used.Have had it for a few months now and don't notice that it's loud & I don't see a lot of scratches, but I'm not looking for them & wouldn't care if there were scratches. It's a super-functional kitchen sink, it doesn't have to be gorgeous. Totally worth the money to me.

High quality metal with sound dampening insulation. You can barely hear the water hitting the sink when the faucet is open. Sink is deep enough to fit the largest of pots and I love the sink guard. You can dump out dirty water without it touching the dishes you've already cleaned. Best sink I've ever owned or used. The accessories just add to the enjoyment of use. The cutting boards extend your workspace and the drying rack is great for pots that won't fit in a common drain. The deep strainer is nice for catching all the food debris that comes off the dishes.

Prior to this purchase, I had only vaguely heard of Ruvati. It was a risk, but I was willing to take it because of reviews and for what it appeared I would be getting for my money.It arrived well and thoughtfully packaged. It was also fairly substantial which was a good sign too.Installation was a breeze and there were no issues with the template provided to the countertop installers. The quality of the build and the included accessories are premium, and after almost a year it isn't even showing signs of daily abuse...like you'd expect from a high end sink (no scratches or staining with proper care). It's also very quiet. Running water full blast or using our 1hp garbage disposal are both dampened enough to done at 11pm without disturbing others in the house. It is the perfect size for our needs, the cutting boards still look new, and our overall efficiency has increased during meal prep. We have experienced no cons to date.This was a great purchase, from a company that obviously knows what it's doing. I will be recommending Ruvati to others.

Beautiful sink set work station. Everything was included in the box, the installation was easy, it drains so well. I love the basket strainer included, and all the accessories like the cutting board, bowls, colander and other pieces.

This is an awesome, high quality sink. Thick enough to avoid that tinny feel and love all the accessories

I was so excited to have this sink with all the cool accessories. Before I ever used it the cutting board warped. Maybe at a party i'll use the cool accessories some day, but for everyday use I only use the straining rack and the sink rack. If you are going to install a garbage disposal you will need to a different part to replace the strainer. Its a big sink and big sinks need to be cleaned after every meal prep, lots of funny places for food to get stuck around the sink. It is a very cool sink, I'd buy one like it again.. minus the accessories and I would check on the level of the slant to the drain, this one doesn't have enough I don't think.

She is a sight to behold. Its installed but have not used it yet but I can't wait to.
