hollysprings-thanks! so the size of the flange is probably why 2 sinks if the same size have different cabinet requirements do you see anyone doing drop in anymore? i am a little worried about chipping around the sink edge with the undermount

The cabinet is a standard height. That is, the sink is undermounted beneath the counter, and the final counter height is standard. The cabinet is about 32" wide. I can't say exactly, because the entire wall of cabinetry was custom made in the vintage style where it is all one long unit. The cabinets are not separate, and the side of the sink cabinet is also the side of the cabinet next to it. The installation was all very stressful for me because the "hole" where the sink would fit had to be pretty darn close to the correct height in order to make the counter the right height. Now, since my cabinets are painted, I did have some wiggle room. We needed to shim the sink to make it exactly the right height and levelness. The gaps all around the sink were covered with bondo (by me), and then painted. So the sink is perfectly snuggled in now. But if I had wood cabinets, my cabinetmaker would NOT have had the skill to do a beautiful job. Pictures, you say? You might be sorry you asked! Get ready for a bunch! I hope they help. The long cabinet unit: The sink "cabinet" Playing around with how to position the sink (shims in place) Again, experimenting with position and where the counter will end up: Bondo to cover the cracks More bondo (bottom edge) Sink with adjacent units (dishwasher is hidden on the right side-cabinetmaker hated making that panel for me with the fake drawer, but I think it's pretty awesome!! ) In the process of painting: Teeny, weeny kitchen, still in progress :-) francy

"I've seen you recommend a strap system for installing this? Will the countertop quartz installers know what I am referring to when they put in the countertop and sink? Also, I like the ricotta white shade but I am afraid of staining with tomato based sauces and coffee/tea. Have your customers used that color?" I recommend the Hercules Universal Sink Harness (Braxton Bragg) or a Sink Strap or two (Gran Quartz). Throw away the clips provided by Elkay please, as drilling for them voids the quartz manufacturer's warranty. Tell your installers you want your sink strapped and you don't care how they always do it. I won't sell the Ricotta for the reasons you mentioned. It may stain, it may not, but I can't afford the internet review if it does. Parchment is off white and it's in my samples. Sold one and no complaints.

Thank you . Here is a drawing of the shape and dimensions. Also what do I do with the section of granite that tapers down to 20 then 14” deep? Appreciate any help to make this granite work.
