    I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.

          It does not matter if it was on sale or not. Somebody thought it is a good idea to produce this kind of sink, and they went ahead with it.

        My guess is the handyman special. Bought the wrong hardware for another client months ago, and finally found a sucker that bought the “hey, I have a brand new sink that never got installed from another job collecting dust. I’ll hook you up”

        Cut any corners! That’s funny because it’s on a corner, and it was cut! I get it!

        Ironically they cut the corner that the sink was supposed to go to

          Unless they went to a scratch-and-dent or secondhand place, then I can imagine it’d be a lot cheaper

            Probably has a Habitat for Humanity Restore in the area. (It’s a thrift store that specializes in residential construction donations, so you can find sinks, cabinets, doors etc there)

              I was just about to comment about ReStore. We’ve gotten some neat furniture (and discount countertops!) at two of our local ones.

    The fact that this sink doesn’t have a channel for overflow from one sink to the other and has no other obvious overflow control is really bothering me…

      While it would still be an abomination to me, it’s not impossible that the overflow holes are on the near walls which are not visible from this angle.

      But it does… Both sinks are set into it slightly. It’s not fantastic but it should still work, assuming the counter is mostly level.

    If you took the corner sink (installed not in a corner like that) but with a 3rd triangular sink in between the others… it would be terrible in entirely new ways!

      Yeah some shitbird was probably abusing a contractor and said “I don’t care just get it done” at some point.

    I’m imagining a contractor telling the previous homeowner that they got the wrong sink, and the previous homeowner screaming at them to “just do your job and fix it” lol

    I put one of these in a Victorian which had a kitchen being brought up to code. Doors and windows cut up the kitchen wall space, leaving this as an elegant solution to have an efficient kitchen. I did have to reinforce the seams behind and at the chevron cut at the sink edge. I liked working at the sink. Dishes were easy to reach, and water did not splash when handwashing dishes, but making more room for modern appliances was nicer. If the kitchen was not destroyed in a flood, I would still have it. I liked it.

    I’ve only seen these and never used one. So I do not understand what is mildly infuriating about them. Is it just that water will spill if the faucet is in the middle?

    It’d be better to have the three-sink setup they have in commercial kitchens which are stacked next to each other so you can move a dish to the next without dripping water all over the counter.

      I worked with one. Soap scum stays on that middle metal thing because you’re transferring plates from one to another, and it’s always get pretty wet. It’s weird but how it looks like in the photo is extra weird.

        Yeah. It’s slightly messy, but it’s ergonomic enough. I’m not sure why you’d choose to install it not in a corner, though; I guess they liked the way it looks but never actually do the dishes themselves?
