How do undermount sinks compare to drop-in sinks?
When it comes to undermount versus drop-in sinks, each has its own set of advantages, but I personally lean toward undermount sinks for one key reason. An undermount sink is installed beneath the countertop, which gives it a seamless look. A significant disadvantage of this type of installation is the high potential of chipping your stone around the sink when handling heavy pots and pans. This potential costly issue is virtually eliminated with our drop in sinks. The traditional drop in sinks look cheap and would certainly lower the value of most homes these days. That being said, our drop in sinks look awesome and are gaining in popularity due to the countertop protection as well as the overall look. The old complaint about wiping crumbs or spills from the counter into a drop-in sink is a non-issue with our workstation sinks. Everything happens right on the sink itself, so there’s no need to be wiping anything from the countertop into the sink. It’s all about making life easier and bringing style to the kitchen—our drop-in workstation sinks do exactly that.
Do you make all of your sinks in Florida?
Absolutely. Every Rachiele® sink is handcrafted in Florida, in our 5,000-square-foot artisan shop by four seasoned craftsmen. We use only American-made materials, ensuring each sink is proudly made in the USA and built to last for generations.

Every Rachiele® sink is designed with one goal in mind—making your time in the kitchen easier, more enjoyable, and more efficient. Our patented workstation designs, ergonomic depths, and rear-corner drain placement are the result of decades of kitchen design expertise.
