The Avado line of kitchen sinks from Elkay provides wonderful features to help organize an otherwise difficult part of the space in your home. From my perspective the Avado line has just propelled kitchen sink designs way into the future. I love the trays, drying racks, and storage areas in this design. My preference is to have these handy gadgets built-in as opposed to buying separate. Further, Elkay has even seen fit to provide holes for draining for most of these areas.
