I was looking for a "trough" type sink that could be shared by two people and could give my large vanity more "not shared" surface space at the same time. The dimensions of this sink are perfect for that.  Plus, I have the option of placing it on the surface of the vanity (because the sink is finished on all exposed surfaces) or counter-sinking (recessing) it. Came so well packaged that there's virtually no way it could be damaged (a concern for a breakable, heavy item). Arrived in a very timely manner, too. Can't wait for it to be installed!
