TORVA 15 x 17 Inch Undermount Kitchen Sink, Premium 304 Stainless Steel Bar Sink - 9 Inches Deep Basin Single Bowl Sink

I love this sink!

First off, I'd buy this sink again if needed. Fully knowing this was an 'undermount sink' I bought this for a basement bar to use in a laminate countertop as a drop-in sink. In the Questions Answered section there was a reply by the manufacturer stating it should be fine for this application. It did fine as a drop-in but as you will see in the photos, the two side edges did not sit perfectly flush with the countertop like the front and back did. I think the insulating coating on the underside of the sink lip is what caused it to sit differently on different sides. If used as an undermount, I dont believe this would have been an issue. I sealed under the sink lip with 100% silicone to seal the sink and prevent water from getting under but I'd sleep easier if it were perfectly flush.One other issue I ran into was that the provided sink drain was VERY deep. With the sink already being 9 inches deep, adding a 4 inch deep sink drain presented an issue with allowing the trap to hook up and properly drain down hill. I had to buy a traditional after-market drain that was half as deep as the one provided (which is a shame because the provided drain and strainer basket would have been awesome for a bar sink). This isn't necessarily an issue with the manufacturer, but a word of wisdom when installing a deep sink... make sure you have enough room to still hook up your drain. It would have been even worse had I actually used it as an undermount sink since that would have lowered the sink another 1.5-2 inches!Overall the sink and provided accessories are good quality from what i can tell so far. I'm happy with the purchase but a few small thinks (like no insulated coating on the lip of the sink to help with drop-in installation and an option for traditional vs basket drain with purchase) would have made this purchase perfect. If you're on the fence about purchasing a Torva sink, I'd say go for it but make sure a deep sink absolutely fits and there is at least 5 inches below the bottom of the sink to include the provided drain.

Sink seems okay, but the drain leaks between the plastic and metal. Water gets between the plastic and metal parts of the drain. Cheaply made although it looks nice.Update: the seller proactively contacted me and promptly provided a replacement drain. The replacement drain is of better quality and does not leak.

I really like this sink and the liner at the bottom. However the sink bottom is flat and that make it hard to rinse debris down towards the drain. You have to chase it with the water. A slight taper would be good.

I was overwhelmed with the quality of this sink for the price. I bought it to install under a diy concrete countertop installed over a cabinet fashioned from a vanity. It is to serve as a bar sink in a basement entertainment room. The first thing that amazed me was the packaging! Great detail is taken to protect the sink to including double boxing and placing it in it's own little cloth "stuff sack". Next were all the 'extras'. Most sinks come with the mounting hardware, but not with the strainer plumbing kit. Not only did it come with the undermount sink clips and strainer, but with a wire grate for the bottom of the sink as well as a plastic colander. I thought the plumbing kit would be cheap and I'd have to purchase a different one for quality, but that was not the case. The sink cutout template was accurate. High quality for a hundred less than others I’d found that didn’t include all the extras. Quick shipping too. The only think I had problems with was the undermount sink hardware. It comes with brass anchors which are to be placed in holes you drill. You are then to screw the wing bolts with stopper hexnuts down into the anchors. The instructions gave me a bit size to use for the anchors. The anchor holes ended up being a bit too large. I fixed this by placing some epoxy down into the hole and then putting the anchors with the bolts screwed into them (with some wd40 on them as well) and taped to hold until dry. Worked like a charm and I probably would have used some epoxy anyway. btw - JB Weld works on concrete and metal.

Pre mounted on solid granite countertop. Looks fabulous.

LOVE this sink. I was looking for an open stainless steel sink and really didn’t want the farmhouse style as I fear that look will be going out soon. I was a little nervous about the quality but so far am pretty impressed. The bottom of sink has bends in it that makes everything go to the drain. I very rarely have to chase any food around to get it to the drain. The bonus was that this model came with the draining caddy that sits on top of the Sink against the front and back counter and the bottom rack that protects the sink bottom from getting scratched up from dishes. It also came with 3 scouring pad/sponges which is why I didn’t give complete 5 rating. You would think that if cleaning devices were included in the purchase thats what your suppose to use for the warranty and it wouldn’t scratch the stainless steel, but it did. Thankfully I only did a small area with it before I noticed what was happening. Don’t use the scouring pad side of the sponge that comes with the sink as it will scratch it up and leave pretty good marks on it. I don’t know what your supposed to use but those aren’t it for sure, unless you don’t care about scratch marks. Other than that I’m thrilled with the sink, but it’s not scratch resistant.
