The Galley Workstation

The Galley is not just a sink. It’s a central work station hub where many tasks can be accomplished. It's a cleverly-designed system that greatly maximizes the functionality of a limited footprint.


You can prep, cook, serve, entertain and clean up all at one location, because the work stations have interchangeable accessories on two levels that allow multiple functions to be performed there.

Because the sink is becoming more than just the place where you wash the dishes, it changes how we think about it. As the sink transforms into a “work station”, it effects how you use your kitchen, it becomes something really different.

One of their reviewers says "With an array of sliding cutting boards, platforms with colanders and bowls, drain rack, and on and on, all sliding along 2 tiers. I’m prepping, washing, cutting, and stacking in a single location, simultaneously. It is incredible how clean my kitchen remains where it used to be spread out along every counter throughout. I’m finally organized! Best sink ever.”

There are large work stations that are 7 or 8 feet long. Some have two faucets, and are intended for two people to use at once. Then there are smaller ones, such as a 4’ one, that will fit in just about anyone’s kitchen. But regardless of which size you choose, these products transform your kitchen sink into the ultimate experience!


The Galley also offers single or double beautiful tall faucets, "Galley Taps", to perfectly compliment the work stations with an elegant, functional pullout with a machined stainless steel finish.

The Galley workstation was an innovation created by a kitchen designer, Roger Shollmier, who really understood how kitchens worked (or didn’t work). Roger says his creation of the original Galley Workstation “completed” his view of the perfect kitchen design, one that brings families and friends together around a central “hub” focal point in the kitchen.


By changing the sink into something larger, and adding accessories that you can quickly change in and out, the Galley work station truly does become the centerpiece of your kitchen. The workstation comes in a variety of sizes and layouts making it perfect for just about every one's kitchen.


Here are some of the different choices.

This mid-range workstation is perfect for smaller families. This entry level workstation is much more affordable and so is well suited to a family who wants to include a Galley sink but who isn't trying to splurge on the top-of-line model, or who doesn’t have room for a 7’ sink. The IWS 4 comes with two choice starter setups of accessories with many add-ons possible down the road.


Ideal Workstation 3

This 36" work station fits in anyone's kitchen. It is the same length as a normal sink, but that is where the similarities end!
