Kraus KCV-341-BN Modern Elavo Ceramic Small Round Vessel Bathroom Sink with Pop Up Drain, Brushed Nickel/White

We have a small bathroom and we wanted to update it with a wow piece. Although small - (about the size of a medium mixing bowl) - it works perfectly. Needed to turn down the water flow to the tap so it didn’t splash out of the bowl but after that it was perfect.

Looks nice, is heavy and install was straight forward but the details are disappointing. You can see that the logo isn’t centred or even straight. Also, in the product page, it shows the logo being on the waste plug but this isn’t the case on what was delivered.The logo not being centred is going to drive me nuts. A dark logo on a white background is going to make this visible for the life of the sink. It’s installed now and I’m not going to rip it out now. My fault for not spotting it straight away.

We really love the result (see photo) -- simple, clean & elegant. Basically VERY easy to install. Recommendations though for DIY types: (1) Figure out a marking scheme to make sure the base is centered in both directions where you want it. The installation instructions stipulate a 4-inch hole opening in your countertop, yet the drop-through drain is on the order of less than 2 inches. So getting it centered poses a very minor problem. (2) Same goes if you care about centering the Kraus name with the faucet that you will be using. (3) Just as a caution, the 4-inch hole only will leave you with only about 3/4-inch of countertop to apply the bead of recommended silicone adhesive. This forces you to apply right on the top cut edge of the circle so as not to risk adhesive squeezing to the outer edge of the Kraus base (and therefore visible). I would have preferred more like an inch (or in other words, a 3.5-inch hole) to allow a larger bead. I was afraid (hindsight) that I hadn't used enough BUT the installation IS solid. I don't know if a 3.5-inch hole would make it anymore difficult to get a wrench on the underside sink drain nut versus a 4-inch. ... These are just installation notes as a precaution before you proceed, BUT are not meant to be negative at all -- just helpful. We totally love the powder room transformation!!

I like everything about it. The sink needed to be small because we have a small bathroom. However, because it is small, I have to be careful washing my face, or wetting it before shaving, because water splashes onto the vanity counter or floor. A bigger bowl would have taken care of this, but then it would have been too big for our bathroom. Otherwise, great looking, nice and heavy feel to it and it looks just right in our bathroom.

This was installed as part of a complete bathroom renovation, with all the work done by subcontractors. I chose this sink (and the faucet shown) to maximize the counterspace available to my two teenage daughters who have a lot of various hair and face products in the bathroom. It looks great and serves the intended purpose perfectly. Two tips for installation and design - I should have told the carpenter to build the vanity 3-4 inches lower than standard, since this sink sits on top of the vanity, rather than sinking into it. It feels just a tad high. Also, the fabricator should cut the slab so that the water hits the side of the bowl, rather than hitting right on the drain cover. We have an ever so slight bit of splash when the water's at full volume. These are not problems with the sink, just issues I should have planned for. This sink is perfect for a small space.
