I need to get a kitchen sink.
Having a hard time finding one.
I was mainly looking at Kraus as that is what my friend just got for her kitchen.
But I looked at some other brands too and same issue.
I need it to be about 22" (left to right) x 20" (front to back) but whatever I looked at doesn't seem to have my dimensions.
I am finding 23" x 18" or 21" x 18"; some are even less than 18".
18" doesn't seem wide enough based on the pictures.
Wish I could see one in person before buying.
Went to Home Depot but they did not have any Kraus sinks in my size on display.
I will probably take a chance and just get it on Amazon.
Seems they have free returns.

I was going to bring up looking on Amazon. It seems like Amazon has almost anything you need.

This may be the way to go. I will keep looking though. Don't want to rush and end up with something that will not work for us.

@lovebuglena - For some specific things, I only buy if I can see in person first what I am going to pay and pay for.

@LadyDuck I went to a friend's house and looked at her sink. Doesn't seem small at all. I may end up getting that one.

That’s the ideal solution. Not sure if that’s possible. Even if I find a store to go to doesn’t mean they will have sinks to look at that work for us.

I hope that works out for you. I'd be scared to order a sink off of amazon.

My friend did that and it worked out well. That's why I am thinking of doing that. I'd order from Home Depot but what I found on Amazon I don't see on the Home Depot website.

You could get boxes or make boxes of the size you're thinking about and set them on your counter to see if that size would work for you. Or you could use a tape measure and mark (in something that washes off) your current counter to see the dimensions.
Why are you just now looking for a sink when you've been doing this remodel for months already?

The kitchen has only been installed now. I need to have a sink before I do the countertop as they take the sink when they do it.

I didn't want to get it earlier because I didn't need it yet but now I do.

My issue is not being sure if what I see online will be good (size-wise) or not. Hard to tell by looking at a picture.

My kitchen sink is a stainless steel single bowl Kohler, and we found it at Costco.

It looks good but too big for us.

@spiderdust I just went on the Costco website. Sinks they have are bigger than what we need.

@lovebuglena They do have smaller ones on the Kohler site, but they're rather pricey. The Costco price worked well for us. I hope you can find what you need!

Thank you. I think we should have a sink before we go to a fabricator and get the stone as we need a sink when they come to do measurements.

@LindaOHio I wish we had one person that worked with us to put together the entire kitchen. Kind of like Joanna Gaines on Fixer Upper.

@lovebuglena I think I"d have a headache by now, although I do like the idea of picking out everything ourselves.

I am not a fan of getting something without seeing it in person first. Especially something like this. I guess I don't have much of a choice. Even if I find a store that sells kitchen sinks I will probably not be able to see it in person anyway before I buy.

Good luck on your search in Amazon, hoping it yields fruitful results. On the matter of kitchen sinks, my husband and I have different tastes. I like a farm-inspired sink, deep and huge. The husband wants a sink that is divided into two so he can use the other half to dry dishes.

I want an undermount single bowl sink. I don't want it to be narrow. Not sure what a farm-inspired sink is.
