FRANKEPKX11028 Sink, 28 3/4-inch, Stainless Steel

I have ordered 4 of these sinks so far from amazon, every one has arrived damaged. I called Franke for help and was told they only ship pallet quantity to Amazon, so its amazons or UPSs fault. They told me explicitly there was nothing they could do to help me. It is clear that the boxes and packaging they use cannot withstand the weight of the sink. I guess ill throw a 2000 dollar sink in the trash, since its been too long since i purchased the first. Thanks a lot.

Pricey but figured I would be looking at it every day. Sink is solid and does not bend when you push on the bottom. Lots of room as there are no rounded corners. You will need a sink drainer and can either use a Franke or generic one from a big box store. This is a high quality item and my big splurge on the kitchen but glad I did.

This purchase was extremely disappointing. The sink is prone to water stains that are impossible to remove. Given its high cost, I expected better quality and am left wondering why it was priced so steeply. I expected the highest standard from FRANKE. I used for a week and it looks like 10 years old.

What a beautiful sink! I can't believe I paid that much for a sink, but I found savings elsewhere in my kitchen remodel specifically so I could splurge on this item. Totally worth it!

The sink is as simplistic and beautiful as no other sink is as close as. I preferred this sink and the premium price to have such minimalist and industrial feel in my kitchen, and the product nailed it.I have some complaints about the product:1. My sink has tooling marks in all its 4 inside corners. The product catalog and pictures on the web do not show it and all 4 corners are advertised to have 5mm Radius, whereas the actual product has its corners 10mm with scratchy tool marks from top to bottom. I am attaching pictures for your reference. The inside corners - since I assume they are tooled - do not have the same finish as the inside sides and bottom. These corners are potential to hold dirt and potential bacteria. I wish they would have polished and brushed as the rest of the product.2. The single bowl sink has an overflow, and its pipe (outside diameter 30mm) does only match its own parts. My insinkerator evolution fit well but it is not possible to connect the overflow to the piping without custom/hard-to-find aftermarket flexible pipe. I wish for such premium product, a compatible flex pipe would also been included in the package.

Just received this sink two days after ordering it. I have NEVER seen anything like it in my life! The finish is to die for - worth every extra penny it cost. Words can barely describe how beautiful and expensive it looks. You just have to see it! I ordered the rack and the colander and both are incredibly well made and beautiful. I HATE the cutting board, though. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it is SOOOOO ugly (color and grain). I'm sending it back, but not before I have the design replicated in a prettier wood by a local craftsman. BUY THIS SINK! You can't do any better.

Boy! If I can return this, I would! First, I started to think this might be counterfeiting product, I had Franke for decades, they are the best, scratch free and super durable. My last one was 17 years old, and it still looks great! This one came in factory package but it’s not packed securely, so it’s loose inside. It was all covered in dust, so I can’t see any scratches and defaults. I always trust Franke brand, I didn’t even check. But once it’s installed, I wiped it clean and there are hundreds of scratches, and a few big ones. I wouldn’t pay $300 for this, let alone $1700! This is a JOKE! And there are also giant blotchy spots, I tried different stainless steel cleaning products but I just can’t get rid of them. They look ok once you dry the sink, but as soon as it’s wet, it looks horrible! This one is also much thinner than my previous one even though they are all 16 gauge. So the quality of this brand had gone down significantly! Also there are two bars on the sides, not sure why the stupid design, but it makes difficult to clean. This is a total waste of money! I’m a huge Franke fan, but DO NOT BUY THIS ONE! SAVE YOUR MONEY!Update after two month ( last pic with rubber bottom) : we don’t wash dishes by hand, we don’t cook using pots so we have to clean them in the sink, if we do, we placed a rubber bottom to prevent any scratches, BUT look at the bottom, it looks like years old after only TWO month since installed in March! Scratches are everywhere no matter how careful we are, and you can’t get rid of the water stains, this sink literally becomes a nightmare! How can this be Franke?! My last one lasted almost 20 years and I swear, it looked much better than this!
