Does anyone else have problems with the weight of the sink causing cracks in the cabinet? Our contractor built substantial support inside the cabinet

My contractor, also, built a "cradle" under the sink in the cabinet to support it. I have not had any problems with it and love my sink. I get compliments regarding it all the time.

Our sink has been in place for over a year and we have no problems at this point.

The sink is GREAT. We purchased a premium grade kitchen cabines thru Costco, and everything has met our expectations. No weight concerns, or cabinet weight related problems.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

I bought the sink the client spec'd out for the job. I really don't know what options are available. The sink was a good quality sink and the client was very pleased.

I have had my sink installed since March 29, 2013 and I have no problems as of yet. This is located in a half bath on the main floor of my home which gets used on a daily basis. Not sure if this helps you or not.

Not if the weight is adjusted properly on the hose underneath the sink. If It's not pulling it all the way back up try adjusting the weight further up the hose.

I did not install the sink because it was damaged in shipping. Have not been successful in returning the item.

It is not a flaw just the design. I installed 2 of these sinks for a client and they are great for a confined space.

I have a standard double sink in my kitchen. The extension pieces are a little flimsy though. Proceed with caution!!

I don't kno that's an issue with the hardware and would be more with what you're attaching the hardware too. When I ordered this a few years back it's very sturdy steel. Just make sure it's secured to a stud and not just drywall.

My plumber siliconed the base to granite several times, but the seal always breaks and it leaks profusely. Paid more to the plumber compared to cost of sink. Not sure how to fix it anymore.

Yes that was the unfortunate thing that happened with us also. We went to lowes and got a new one to replace the one that came with it. Also we had to go back in and reseal so it worked with the plumbing. Kind of a pain. But we love the sink. Good luck !!

I had cabinets made and brought the sink over to the cabinet shop to be custom made to itNo idea about your answer, but when I did a sink like that before i had to modify the ikea junk and reinforce it as wellThis sink has to rest on a solid base. Best of luck

No. Sorry. My granite people picked the sinks up from me and brought them to their shop so they could make the proper holes for the sinks.We did our remodel in February 2013.Maybe they have included them 2 years later?

Depends just how heavy your component is...cabinet is sturdy but why take the chance. If it were me, I'd break down and buy a new component (which will probably give better quality besides!)

My installer said as long as the cabinet has a strong frame, it should not be a problem. We have used the sink for more than 9 months and are very satisfied with it, both functionally and aesthetically.

Hello Donna. We never had that problem but maybe it is off level. Try on a different surface or maybe stairway got bent. Good luck!

I believe most people will undermount this sink, as we did; but I have seen pictures otherwise. Either way, do some research, particularly in how you might need to modify your cabinets to accomodate the installation of this type of sink.
