Corner Sink

BossHog | Posted in General Discussion on November 21, 2003 05:40am

Ever seen a sink like this? It’s the first one I’ve seen.

    Yes, they are getting more and more common. It's a great way to take advantage of that oft-unused corner space but they don't give you much room to stand in front of the sink.

    For that reason I think they make a good secondary prep sink but would not be my first choice for a single sink kitchen. Looks like they found a good way to address that concern in the photo you posted though - at least on the left side of the sink.

      "Getting more popular", huh?

      I don't think this kitchen has been remodelled in 15 or 20 years - It's a pretty old sink.

      BTW - Don't have that package in the mail yet, but have found a box for it. Don't worry if it's ticking whenit arrives........................(-:Sometimes you're good. Sometimes you're lucky. Sometimes you're just good 'n lucky.

        My momma warned me about people I meet on the internet, but did I listen to her?....

        NOOOooooooooooo!

        Lord help me... I asked for it.

          You sure did ask for it!

            I'm pretty sure Ikea sells something like that

            Did you ever wonder what would happen if the President finally pushed that big red button...?

            Don't know. Could it be you have a guilty consciense from giving me such a hard time ???

    Seen them before, that application is a bit of a first.

    Like KH said, the sink is a bit of a compromise that leaves one sink "better off" than the other.  Had a customer comment that the faucet swings over a lot of "non sink" space, which would not be good with young'ns in the house.
