We keep kosher and make almost every meal at home. So when in our new-to-us farmhouse renovation, our brand new pricey porcelain sinks would make Passover difficult, we decided if we had to make the change we might as well make it the best, and invest in copper sinks, specifically American made copper sinks. After some research we landed on Rachiele Custom Sinks. Dino and his team reached out immediately and walked me through the process of design process and measurements to make sure my sinks would fit beautifully in the countertops.
And to put the pink icing with sprinkles on the cake, there was our ‘ask’ (the ‘oh could you just’ kind): We needed our sinks installed by Passover, which was like in 6 weeks if I remember correctly. With only a barely discernible pause, Dino said ‘of course.’
I live in New York. I did not go to the showroom in Florida nor I have I met Dino Rachiele or his team. Everything was handled so professionally that I can attest that they are not AI. My sinks arrived without damage for Passover (yay! No sink kashering!). They were beautiful ,from the gorgeous patina to the ‘hidden art work’ that you will only see until installation. They fit perfectly…beautiful American craft. We cook almost every meal and our sinks get quite a workout, tons on dishes and all kinds of sauces, juices, and wines, has been through our sinks. The copper handles it well and always returns to its gracious aged look. It is a lasting investment and very worth it. I highly recommend Rachiele Custom Sinks.
I must have been your most difficult customer. I fought you all the way. Both my husband and I were hell bent on getting a double bowl sink, I am a bit embarrassed to say - you were right. After all the fussing, we are now one of your loyal followers. Yes Dino... a single bowl sink with a right rear drain makes so much sense! OK, I said it. Thank you, thank you, for being so insistent. (and for taking my countless phone calls) We could never have believed how wonderful your design is. We both wish you much success. You deserve it. One more thing, please feel free to put this note on your web site. Also I want to tell your potential customers that Dino does really answer the phones on the weekends. Our plumber had a question about the disposer thingy and Dino called us back in less than 5 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. Thank you for all of your help and the photos of our gorgeous sink before it shipped. We will send photos back once we finish the remodel project. Thinks are still hectic around here.

The best custom creation experience. From the first phone calls and emails beginning the design process, the team at Rachiele went above and beyond. Their website offers so much detail and many ideas. Then when you think you’ve seen it all online, a walk through the fabrication shop blows it out of the park. State of the art equipment and ideas paired with low key, humble, beyond talented individuals all apart of a larger team. Rachiele’s creations are truly one of a kind. As a custom home builder, we can also attest to not only the quality of the product, the passion in the process, but how easy it is to work with everyone there is. It was such a great experience.
While renovating our home, our builder suggested a copper sink from Rachiele.
I researched the company and was happy to find the sinks are custom built in Florida. There was also a lot of information on their website about the manufacture, benefits and care of copper sinks.
I spoke with Dino, who is very knowledgeable and pleasant, and ordered our large farmhouse style sink.
It arrived on time, and came with inserts for use as a dish drain and 2 cutting boards!
We’ve had our sink for 2 years now, and it is as beautiful as the day it arrived!
Because copper reacts with acids items such as tomato products, the look if the sink is always changing. You can read about this on their site. It’s a living work of art that is the centerpiece of our kitchen island.
We are extremely pleased with our sink and highly recommend Dino and his company to anyone looking for something unique for their home.
We are absolutely in love with our new sink and can’t thank you enough for all of your help. We were hesitant at first to order online without having seen the sink in person, but you made the process easy and explained everything so thoroughly. We are so happy we went with the larger size and the autumn patina is perfection! We've received so many compliments on it and will recommend you to everyone we know.
Thank you so much!

I wish I could give more stars! How many times do you get to deal directly with the owner in all your transactions? He gave us his cell phone number. A remodel is stressful enough so it's nice to come across real customer service. He's not a salesman - he's an educator. The copper apron farm house sink is beautiful. Thank You Rachelle!
In 2021 we embarked on a major kitchen remodel where a copper sink was not even a consideration until we found Rachiele Custom Sinks.
Quality, perfection, detail and pride are a few words that describe Rachiele Custom Sinks and Dino Rachiele. They care about their product and their relationship with their customers. They were involved from design through installation and always available to answer any questions that we had or have a year and a half later.
If your considering a custom copper sink, you cant go wrong with a Rachiele Custom Sink. We went with a 36” copper farmhouse sink that is the centerpiece of our kitchen. Id encourage you to view Dino’s videos on YouTube. The sink performs exactly as presented in videos from defrosting properties of copper to ease of use with workstation cutting boards and other accessories.
If you go with a 36” custom farmhouse sink don’t leave out an extended reach Waterstone faucet as is the perfect compliment for the sink and ease of use. If possible we also recommend the pullout trash below one side of sink. Its so covenient!!
The sink has transformed how our family gathers around the kitchen and simplified how we prepare meals.

I had a copper sink from another company with an applied dark brown finish. In less than a month the dark brown had shiny areas like a brand new penny. When I called customer service I was told that If I would simply wait the finish would return to its original color. I soon realized that this statement was impossible. The sink would eventually patina to an old penny color, but never to the original dark brown. When I sent a picture of my sink to the company the response was that they saw no problem. The sink was only a year old and was not inexpensive. Even though the sink was 14 gauge it felt and sounded cheap.
After extensive research I was impressed with Rachielle sinks, the positive reviews, the amazing photos of actual kitchens of happy customers, and Dino’s videos. I emailed him one evening around 9 pm and I received a call from Dino himself about 10-15 minutes later! He listened to me patiently and was sympathetic about my ugly sink in what I think is a lovely kitchen. He answered all of my questions and assured me that I could remove my “old” under mount farmhouse sink and install his custom version without removing my new quartz countertops. Dino was in frequent contact with me during the measuring, ordering, fabricating, shipping, and installing of my sink. I have NEVER experienced this level of customer service.
Rachielle is the real deal in both customer service and finished product. My Rachielle sink is beautiful. It practically shouts quality and does not have that “tinny” sound of my previous sink. This sounds kind of corny, but it’s true...I wanted to cry every time I used my sink from Brand X. It was ugly and cheap looking. My Rachielle sink is a show stopper and a workhorse. I love the cutting board!
My wife and I made a decision to add to our outdoor living space by having a summer kitchen built. Our project began in early 2020 and then the pandemic delayed us by almost a year. This delay allowed for proper research on all the things we wanted to do. We were wanting to get a copper sink as it would blend in perfectly with the colors of our space. We pretty much figured the local home improvement retailer would be the way to go to obtain our sink but in my research I discovered Rachiele. I read every detail of their website before we called Dino. It was just our luck that his operations are local to us. We made an appointment to meet with him on Feb 6, 2021. Dino was very welcoming and eager to show us every step his product goes through from start to finish. Needless to say we were quite impressed ordered ours on the spot. Our project was completed in late July 2021. The sink and the accessories we added make prep and clean up a breeze. It’s clear that the majority of Dino’s clients will never witness the process, love and craftsmanship that goes into every sink they produce. He takes tremendous pride and knows every story about each sink in production and where it’s going so you can rest assured that you are getting an amazing piece to add to your home. We even got his Waterstone faucet package, which complements our sink quite beautifully.

We are very happy with our custom copper farmhouse sink! The house we recently moved into had a crack in the counter behind the kitchen sink, and we were looking for a solution without replacing the existing granite. Rachiele Sinks came up during our search, and when I reached out, Dino spent nearly an hour chatting with us, discussing our options. We loved everything about his sinks - USA made, highest quality copper, and ergonomically-friendly design!
Dino helped us design a retrofit farmhouse apron sink, which allowed us to replace our old sink and address the cracked granite without changing the existing counters/cabinets. The custom sink has a rear deck with side extensions to address where the crack was. I carefully took the measurements, and though I was nervous if it would fit properly, Dino assured me over and over again that it would work. Sure enough, we had it installed, and it is PERFECT! It is now the highlight of our kitchen and we love it!
I feel fortunate to have found Dino and Rachiele Sinks. The level of customer service, kindness, and professionalism was above and beyond. During the process, I learned so much about sinks, copper, and all the hard work that goes into each Rachiele sink. I am now a huge fan and very excited to put our new sink to good use! Thank you so much, Dino and the team at Rachiele Sinks!
My wife and I spent many years planning for our kitchen remodel. Part of that journey included extensive research on appliances and finishes we hoped to procure for the project.
In researching kitchen sinks, we came across reviews for Rachiele Custom Sinks and we are so grateful to have found Dino and his incredible collection of artisans and staff. Even though we live completely across the country from where his sinks are produced, after speaking with Dino directly we knew we were in good hands.
Dino is incredibly kind and patient discussing the details of just exactly how we intended to use our kitchen, from what we cook to how often we entertain, etc. Dino takes the time to get to know his clients so he can ensure the best possible match of a sink to the clients' needs and wishes.
Dino is highly efficient in his processes and communication providing detailed drawings of what your sink will look like. These detailed drawings will also ensure a smooth installation process.
We selected the NexGen sink and could not be happier. It is beyond what we expected in terms of quality and craftsmanship. The sink is truly a time saver and looks incredible in our kitchen.
From time of order to delivery, Dino and his staff were on point and followed through precisely as they had indicated. They were even kind enough to delay shipping by a few weeks when our project started a bit later than expected.
The care they show in packaging and shipping the sink is second to none. We even ended up using the shipping crate the sink arrived in for a raised bed for our tomatoes this year--it's that bullet proof.
Our family and friends are amazed at the sink, and we get more compliments on it than just about anything else. Dino's recommendation for the Waterstone faucet was spot on and combined with his exceptional sink, it is a true pleasure to use.
We're even more thankful for his sink and faucet recommendations now that Bosch has let us down again as we await the arrival of our dishwasher...7 months and counting.
Finally, it's important to note that both items are not inexpensive, but truly, we feel it's been the best investment of all the wonderful items we've been able to put into our kitchen. Sometimes you have to pay for quality and perhaps sacrifice elsewhere--Rachiele Custom Sinks are certainly worth it. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is evident throughout. You will not find a better kitchen sink on the market-period.
Love my custom sink, fixtures and accessories by Rachiele! Everyday I am so thankful when working at the sink to have found such a great company. Two years of hard use (rinsing paint brushes, setting hot pans from stove, heavy food prep) the sink looks like new and I continue to be happy with my choice! Friends come over and marvel how great the sink is. They even put on demos for others showing how the accessories work so well during food prep and clean up. No dents, stains, scratches to be seen. Talk about function with water flow to the right side, makes clean up a breeze. I have the prep tray and cutting board, sponge utility tray. Both of these items make working at the sink much more efficient.
Trust me, as a mother of 4 having cooked for 50 years now, this sink wins the best form and function award as being the best I have ever used. Also, the marine grade fixtures, under sink water filter, waste basket/recycle slide out unit are top of the line too. Dino made shopping for these necessary fixtures so easy. Thank you Dino for all your advise, assistance with kitchen design and care your company puts into making such great products!
I discovered Rachiele Sinks online in 2012 during our kitchen remodel. I was immediately attracted to the beauty and uniqueness of their copper sinks. After much consideration, my husband and I purchased a 36 inch Weathered Copper Apron sink to replace an existing ceramic sink. We loved our copper sink from the moment we received it. Fast forward nine years, and I can honestly say I love my copper sink even more. Not only is it unique and still beautiful but it is highly functional with great durability. Thanks to Dino for such personal service and accessibility.

A very satisfied customer!
I’ve been viewing Rachiele’s website for years. I hated my kitchen sink with a small disposal side, and I found a “before and after” photo on the site that showed my exact problem. I love Dino’s instructional videos and ability to “read my mind” (I was thinking that I wouldn’t like a top mount sink, and then Dino addressd that concern on the site). It took me six years to decide to invest in a custom sink, but I finally decided to go for it as a Christmas gift to myself. Dino and his wife guided me through the purchase. They really know their stuff and their customer service is excellent. Dino even provided his personal cell number in case we had questions during our weekend installation. I’ve had my new sink for a week and I love it! It was totally worth the cost and wait.
I'm about to buy my second sink from Rachiele. You won't find a better sink in terms of design, materials and workmanship. I enjoyed the sink in this picture for just a couple of years before I had to move to another city for work. I can't wait to get my current kitchen squared away with a new Rachiele copper sink. These are works of art that function at the highest level, and without a doubt, I saw a return on investment the first time around!
As an architect and interior designer I have specified Rachiele sinks over the years. When I finally had a chance to renovate my own kitchen, I called Dino. I am so in love with my sink. Dino worked with me to get the details just right. His personal attention is given to every project. I recommend Rachiele Custom Sinks without reservation.
After researching custom sinks for some period of time, I narrowed it down to two companies. Both were professional and answered my questions, but Dino at Rachiele went way above and beyond. He tactfully followed up with additional information and pictures and he was always there to answer my many phone calls. He never pressured me or lost patience, and truly exhibited an understanding of the challenges that a long distance buyer might be facing. Once we decided on his company, he not only walked us through the process but also he made sure we didn't over buy. His promise to deliver by a certain date was never met, however. He beat it by more than a week! We are thrilled with the end result made more enjoyable by a business owner who understands his customers. I would recommend them without reservation! Above is the before and after. (You can tell which is which).
Our stone countertop had cracked around the faucet and in front of the sink, allowing water to leak behind the cast iron sink. We didn't want to replace the countertop because we liked the color of the unusual stone. We knew the stone countertop would need to be cut, the faucets and cast iron sink removed and a replacement sink fitted into the new cutout. Internet searches found numerous options for replacement sinks. We wanted a copper sink with a front apron and an integrated backsplash. This narrowed the search to custom-made sinks. After looking at reviews and locations of companies that could produce the sink we had in mind, we visited Rachiele Custom Sinks. We wanted someone local and a company where you could actually talk with a person - not a recording with a promise of a follow-up. We spoke with and met with the owner, Dino Rachiele, and several of his staff. His company then custom built the copper sink we had in mind, which is now the eye-catching centerpiece of our kitchen. Rachiele went above and beyond in making sure everything was right and that we were completely satisfied. The beautiful sink, their EXCELLENT customer service, their availability for questions and just being wonderful folks to work with on a remodel makes paying for a custom sink well worth the money. I would highly recommend Rachiele Custom Sinks. They exceeded our expectations in all areas.
I have to admit that it is a rare experience working with fabricators to get what you want. At Rachiele Custom Sinks, the actual owner is intimately involved in guiding you through the design process and educating you on your choices. There is plenty of communication to make certain the final sink design is exactly what you wanted and dimensions are exactly what you need to make a perfect fit. Dino, the owner, is unbelievably available during your entire experience to offer help to any problem you may be concerned about. I had a concern regarding the rear flange on my sink and Dino took the call and it was solved in about 5 minutes. This attention to detail left nothing to go wrong for the installation. It was an absolute perfect fit. Mine was a retrofit apron drop-in sink replacing a dual bowl stainless steel undercount sink. The entire team that I spoke with during the process showed concern and never made me feel like I was a burden when asking questions. It is a top shelf product that Rachiele manufactures and even better, made in the USA.

I agree with you on the importance of a drain board. A couple of years ago, you made a wonderful and very customized sink for us. It's of course a workstation sink. But it also has a section that seamlessly extends over the adjacent cabinet and provides a drainboard. Because of the design of our extra-tall cabinets, it doesn't take away any usable space underneath the drainboard, and the apron of the sink extends the full width. Very nifty and amazing job welding this complex shape.
The drainboard is one of the best features of this sink. It gets so much use in our kitchen. It helps the workflow a lot, if I can rinse items and drop them off on the drainboard until I need them next a few minutes later.
Our kitchen is very much a "working" kitchen, and we have been cranking out many complex multi-course dinners on a regular basis. It would be a lot less functional without that well-designed sink.
The only surprising downside for us was that whoever cooks now focuses so much attention on the sink, that it is difficult to have more than one cook in the kitchen. Everybody wants to use the sink for all their work. But I guess, that's a good problem to have and demonstrates just how useful the combination of sink, workstation, and drainboard really is.
Maybe, me dreamkitchen would now have two of your sinks. But there really isn't any space in our house to do that.
After a year of searching for a replacement sink, I discovered Rachiele Custom sinks. I had a 48 inch 18 year old Kohler kitchen sink, which had two sinks and the garbage disposal in the center. When I started my search for a new sink I quickly found out that none of the name brands were making that size anymore. I had no choice but to find someone who could custom make one for me. In googling custom sinks, Rachiele is one of the first to pop up. I read Dino's entire website and watched a video that was posted on the website about his production, his expertise, the quality of the copper, the meticulous details that are considered in making a custom sink, and customer service. One thing that truly struck me was that Dino encourages his customers to call him with ANY questions seven days a week. I was about 80% sure I wanted this custom sink, but I had a few questions. So I called him. Dino was so personable, I felt like I had known him for years. As I described my current sink situation he knew exactly what I was talking about. My only concern regarding the copper sink was how well it would hold up under hard water. Dino spent over an hour on the phone with me, reassuring me that this copper sink is tough and it can't be hurt. He was so calm and patient with all of my questions. I felt so comfortable after our conversation that I was convinced this was the sink for me. So before we hung up, I had ordered my sink, and the waterstone faucet and accessories. Dino communicated with a few emails which contained the drawing of the sink, confirmed measurements, and details of the shipping process. The communication with Dino and his staff was spot on perfect!! The sink arrived about six weeks later, packaged incredibly securely and with very detailed instructions, which made it a breeze for the plumber. So as you can see by the before and after pictures, it is gorgeous!!!! AND it is a dream to use!!! I would recommend purchasing the soap tray, cutting board and the drain board. The patina just gets prettier and prettier as you use it. Do not hesitate for a minute this is one of the best purchases I have made for our home. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, and Dino is always there if you should have any questions. Well worth the price!!
