Saves a lot of counter space. The sink has a groove to fit or slide drain rack and cutting board. Difficult to find 29" width. My kitchen person says you can fit this into a 30" sink base cabinet if you shave the sides of the cabinet a little. I would not recommend a DIY attempt unless you have a minimum, 32" sink base cabinet. This is not a ceramic sink. The "stone" look and non staining properties are achieved by combining resin and granulated stone in the manufacturing process. The colors created, enable an integrated look; matching sink color to counter top.
