We love this sink. It has a classic and modern feel wrapped into 1. Is definitely built to last and very sturdy. Was overpacked but that was just fine as our first one was damaged in shipping. But AS shipped a new one out right away. The area around the sink is open with enough room for soap, toothbrush, etc...It was very easy to set onto the base and fit very well...The faucet was a breeze to install. Overall great product and would recommend...
