Do you regret your white farm sink?

You can put a metal sink protector/rack on the bottom. That's what I did. Sink looks as good as new, 8 years.

That’s what I have and I love mine. OP I think it’s a fairly timeless look. I’m confused by the short posters who say it makes their back hurt- how is it different than any other sink? I’m 5’2 and haven’t had this issue so wondering what you mean /)

+1 on everything, right down to the height. WTF is going on with people's backs and how many hours a day are they washing dishes?

Also very happy 6 years later. I’m not sure what all the comments about he marks are- we have the metal protector at the bottom of it that most people use - I thought this was standard and we’ve had no issues as a result. Mine isn’t crazy deep either.

Re back pain, the reason why some people have back pain from farmhouse sinks and some people think they are making it up, is because there is more factors at play besides “farmhouse sink”.

Your back will hurt if:

- The bottom of the sink is too low. This is determined by cabinet height and sink depths Sinks come in different depths, and usually farmhouse sinks are deeper than other sinks. Farmhouse sink depths vary from 8” to 16”. A 16” depth on a standard 34”-36” cabinet means the bottom of the sink is 28-30” above the ground, which would hurt most of our backs

- The faucet does not extend far enough over the sink, causing you to have to lean further over the sink.

I’m going to guess that the people who have no back pain have sinks with less depth or taller cabinets, while the people with back pain have deeper cabinets, shorter cabinets, or faucets that don’t have enough reach.

Everyone can be right!

Yes, but wouldn’t a low sink not affect the shorties like me? I’d think that would be an issue that tall women might complain about- but I don’t get how a lower sink wouldn’t be BETTER for a short person?

I miss mine, it was apron front large and beautiful in the last house. I have stainless now and its not as pretty. It also scratches more, even with a rack. I would have stuck with the farm sink if I hadn't fallen for the hype of SS. Maybe there are different grades of porcelain and I had a really good one before but it was also heavy and needed extra support underneath, which was easy enough.
