That's deep! A full 12" deep basin is ideal as a laundry sink or kitchen sink. Though highly beautiful, it's also fully functional giving you plenty of room for kitchen or laundry tasks! The shiny stainless hand-hammered interior has dips and peaks that catch the light like sparkling ripples on the sea on a sunny day. The Undermount design allows for a seamless transition from the counter surface to the sink. A quick polish will bring back its original sparkle- it will be a focal point of the room! This sink has no overflow. Hand-hammered individual variations will exist. All dimensions are nominal and can vary by up to .25"
