They are meant to be installed in a corner.
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!
There are two things you never put in a corner: sinks and Baby.
If you have a faucet can swivel, you could probably always put it somewhere to spill directly on the countertop. Still ugly design, though.
My ex has the regular sink diagonally in the corner- and she’s too short. It has to be farther back from the edge of the counter to miss the corner. However she’s 5’2” (and overweight) so it’s harder to reach, enough to be an annoyance every time she washes dishes.
Just don’t put your sink in the corner. There is no good solution
Yeah this seems like something you would do if the space didn’t permit anything else. Which is the case sometimes. But it’s not something to elect when you have other options.
Ok, I'm super curious. By "In the corner" do you mean putting a sink on the actual corner unit? Or by the tablespace immediately next to it?
In the case of the first one I totally get it. The corner unit is a cursed part of the kitchen anyway. If you mean immediately next to it, why not? Not disagreeing, just curious what a professional says.
That does tend to happen. Even without swiveling the faucet, moving dishes between basins causes a bit of a puddle to develop. Thankfully I have a tiled floor so it doesn't matter too much.
Perfect for when you need to mop the kitchen floor-- no bucket required /j
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 😮
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 🫠
In not a programmer and I'm full of dread inside.
That has nothing to do with this post, but since we're sharing..
Still not centered.
Show us the plumbing under the sink!
I think it's also installed in teh corner so that one sink faces the bar.
I can just imagine the dad who ordered the wrong sink refusing to admit his mistake and just cutting the hole weird.
My money is on landlord special. They will cut any corner possible to save a buck.
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!
Tetris themed kitchen +$150/month
Ironically they cut the corner that the sink was supposed to go to
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
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.
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
That looks like a right faff to use.
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'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
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 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?
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.
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.
