In my new-to-me older house the shoddy 'renovated' kitchen fell apart when the counters came off to upgrade and ground electrical wiring. This sink replaces the cheap, shallow, double sink that had no room for large items, plus the water damaged press board cabinet, plus the old, leaky faucet all for what a decent new sink would cost. It's sleek, elegant, and fabulously practical. The 20" total depth let me build a false wall/shelf (and an access panel) behind it to hide the drain and water lines, bringing it level with the new cabinets. I love it!
