Any advice what I should look out for especially buying from overseas to make sure it's a smooth installation?THANKS!This could be kraus oem, but whether or not it's real, very hard to say. You should go search for Sellena 诗琳纳水槽 in taobao, saw some negative reviews like the sink finishing not very good, item came with scratches etc. It seems like this brand is not well known in China, cos if you google, some ppl were asking how this brand compares to other more established chinese sink brand....Anyway, US$499 is not very cheap... maybe you wanna consider buying kraus directly from Amazon? http://www.amazon.com/Kraus-KHU103-33-33-Inch-Undermount-Stainless/dp/B0032C411C/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1361346517&sr=8-10&keywords=kraus+sink Edited February 20, 2013 by bleucheeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kooky 2 Report post Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Yes, I believe it is an Elkay replica. It could be from China too as I did google after knowing the name of this sink from the sales lady.However, for husband and I we are okay as we fancy a double-bowl sink that is big enough for a wok. I like it for the fact that it has a deeper base which is good as chances of water splashing out from the sink; wetting the floor is reduced. I am a simple person; so the simple-look of the sink suits me :-)Thanks for the info! So Monic is Elkay replica? I read before in renotalk that monic is made in china.

I had an online chat with the sales rep.I had to edit this post the THIRD time now.1st time chat she replied Sellena is Kraus.2nd time chat she replied Sellena not the same as Kraus but of HIGHER quality. When I asked further why website description listed Kraus which is misleading, she said Sellena is OEM of Kraus. Goodness, so quality should be SAME lah!Full of ambiguities and not sure if it's due to English communication skill. Though I must say I am impressed that the online chat response is fast and is still available near 11 pm!MY DECISION: NO GO. Too risky for the amount to be paid and for a not Kraus brand.Any idea if those in Amazon comes with full installation kits eg overflow trap and bottle trap etc etc?

Any feedbacks anyone?My linkHi, fyi ah, I don't think the seller ship direct to Singapore for the above sink. If you go by 3rd party forwarder, it will be very ex. Of course unless u got lobang for sea shipment.I would recommend to buy from Kraus KHU103-33 33-Inch Undermount 70/30 Double Bowl 16 gauge Kitchen Sink,. It is the same sink without the tap n soap. But at least it ship to Singapore at around US$136. There is also 11 reviews too! Btw, try not to get tap from USA, the thread is different and it can be hard to find compatible fittings.

Ok will seriously consider your recommendation! Does this sink "slope" slightly so that water will be able to flow naturally to the hole? The corners are square - easy to clean?& suprt big thanks for the tap advise. I am not aware of compatibility as well! Any recommendation as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
