This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn't want it, but I get it.
Yep, and they are actually awesome! I personally hate washing dishes when there's a pile of them in front of you because of all the splashing. This layout makes cleaning so much easier. Additionally, you can put up some stuff for defrosting in the second sink
Finally, was wondering where exactly these things would have been used 😮
#oddlysatisfying
Could you just not put it there? I never known any sink in existence that is plumbed into the corner of the room, so presumably the piping has been redirected so that you need a corner sink, it's literally the very definition of a solution looking for a problem and indeed a problem has to be created so the solution is required.
Yes, but that particular sink happens to be named "Baby".
I'm a programmer and this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside 🫠
I get it, but speaking as someone who used to design kitchen layouts for a living: Don't put your sink in the corner. Just don't.
Also, this has one major "feature" above and beyond the usual diagonal sink in a corner cabinet, in that you can swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor. Genius!
swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor
Or directly into a bucket.
How often I'm filling buckets vs. how often I'd accidentally spill water on the floor.
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...
That defeats the purpose of a kosher sink.
This
Kitchen sinks don't usually have an overflow
Edit: I was thinking about bathroom sink style overflow
They usually overflow into the other side of the sink. There is a raised rim along the outside, and the area between the two is very slightly lower. This means that the water will overflow into the other side.
Of course if both are full, all bets are off.
I was thinking about an overflow like you see on bathroom sinks!
Sinks that are directly next to each other are usually separated by a divider that's lower than the counter. I assume that's what he's talking about
Dunno about "usually". Our last house was fairly nice, but didn't have this sink feature. That said, you could walk around and see where the builder went for the cheapest option available.
That said, this kitchen sink feature should literally be the absolute minimum for consideration.
It's getting less common because it looks cleaner and functions better to have the divider flush with the sides. My sink is flat on top and it's better because I can set what I'm washing out of the sink. It does get scratched up over time though.
Cheap sinks have the rim they are describing. Expensive sinks usually have a low or no divider. It's the mid teir that is going flush on top for some reason. It's a completely useless feature IMO that makes the sink less useful.
It's actually called a Slayer sink cause it's double basin.
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!
You can buy a second one, thats a big plus!
Yeah, that could be mainly used for washing hands and rinsing.
Thank god for the red line, I wouldn't be able to understand this meme without it.
Cock-and-ball sink
Yeah some shitbird was probably abusing a contractor and said "I don't care just get it done" at some point.
If there was a third sink in-between I could see this working.
Or it was installed in a corner
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 have this one. It's not that bad actually, once you get used to it.
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?
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 have one of these sinks in my house. At least it's in a corner, but it's still terrible.
I kind of like this actually, it's unique
It also saves you from the dreaded "wet line on the T-shirt" when you wash by hand.
I'd bet the amount of water on that center section is quite a bit. It's probably always wet tshirt time at that house.
Do you always turn the faucet to the max or what?
Stuff splashes when you wash dishes. And now you have to remember to turn the faucet off every time you need to use it in the other sink. The guy complaining about wet lines from the edge of the sink being wet is complaining about a very common thing, from splashing. I feel like I'm explaining how to tie shoes at this point...
There's no way I'm careful enough to avoid that.
There are a million solutions to this that don't involve angling the sinks tho.
Yeah lemme guess they gonna replace it with a shitty designer faucet which is way to shallow to do anything productive with. No thanks ill take this one over a lot of other ones. The only thing that sucks it doesnt have a place to set dishes.
They are meant to be installed in a corner.
This makes so much more sense. Still wouldn't want it, but I get it.

Still not centered.
Probably thinking of bars applications too.
Show us the plumbing under the sink!

Would be a bad idea for me
I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.

This guy knows sinks.
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.
