But we love it. As for the Thermofoil, our extremely informative and expertly knowledgeable kitchen designer recommended it and we're so glad she did. No yellowing whatsoever and we're almost to year three. Hope it helps! xo, s

We are thinking of some single bowl undermount versions. Also, we are going back and forth between purchasing painted wood cabinets and Thermofoil. We keep hearing that white Thermofoil cabinets yellow in a couple of years. Have you had any issues with this?

We redid our hall bath last year and wanted Kohler white porcelain rectangular sinks we had seen in a magazine. It's a double vanity and the sinks alone were going to be $600+ together. We found the exact same thing at MR Direct for $145 for both with shipping. They are great and you'd never know they aren't a brand name sink. I also recommend MR Direct.

I was hesitant when I first found them online. I thought they were an outlet store that sold damaged or refurbished sinks, so I called them up directly and spoke to them. It turned out they are just a company that believes in word-of-mouth advertising and selling their better products at great cost. You won't find them at HD or Lowes but you also won't have to pay their mark-up. We took a chance and were not disappointed. We bought our stainless undermount for $75 last summer for our kitchen redo and love it! Still looks great over 1 year later... Andrew I’d also recommend MR Direct

They really seem to be the wave of the future in kitchen design (it's much easier to sweep food and crumbs right in without having to worry about stuff collecting around the raised edge of a sink) so we really have enjoyed the increased functionality that ours has brought to our new kitchen. Hope it helps! xo, Sherry

I'm trying to talk my husband into one when we replace our kitchen counters this summer, but he thinks there could be leak issues? Somehow I dont think so but try telling a man that he's wrong ;) Anyone have problems with an undermount sink?
