The sink base is the one cabinet whose position is not yours to choose. It is decided by a drain that is already in the wall or the floor, and moving that drain is a plumber's day. Rest Cabinetry stocks over 1,300 sink base variations in Norcross.
| Drain centre | Distance from the nearest corner, and height from the floor. This is the number that decides which widths are usable, because the trap has to sit inside the cabinet without fouling the back or a drawer. |
|---|---|
| Supply lines | Where the shut-offs are. They take space at the back and they need to stay reachable after installation - a valve you cannot get to is a valve you will regret. |
| Disposal and dishwasher drain | Both usually share the sink base. Two more things in the same volume, and a reason the space under a sink is fuller than people plan for. |
The front looks the same and the inside is not. Where a normal base cabinet has a full drawer or shelf, a sink base gives that space to the basin and the trap - which is why the drawer front under a sink is usually a false front rather than a working drawer. That is not a shortcut; there is nothing behind it to open into.
Match the cabinet to the sink, not the other way round. A wide farmhouse or apron sink needs a cabinet built for it, and an undermount needs the counter fabricator to know before templating. Settle the sink first, then the cabinet, then the counter - in that order, because each one constrains the next. See countertops.
The volume under a sink is awkward rather than small. A pull-out that clears the trap turns it into real storage; a shelf mostly does not, because the trap sits in the middle of it. This is one of the few places where an accessory is doing genuine work rather than tidying.
Keep in mind that accessories are non-refundable, so confirm the clearance around your specific trap before ordering a pull-out for the space.

Measure the plumbing first: the drain centre from the nearest corner and its height from the floor. The trap has to sit inside the cabinet without fouling the back, and that measurement decides which widths are usable.
Because there is nothing behind it. A sink base gives that space to the basin and the trap, so the front is usually a false front rather than a working drawer - not a shortcut, just physics.
The sink, then the cabinet, then the countertop. Each constrains the next - a wide apron sink needs a cabinet built for it, and an undermount needs the counter fabricator to know before templating.
More than most people manage, if you use a pull-out that clears the trap. A plain shelf mostly does not work there because the trap sits in the middle of it.
Over 1,300 sink base variations across the nine finish collections, held in Norcross for same-day collection.
Only by moving the plumbing, which is a plumber's day rather than an adjustment. That is why the sink base is treated as a fixed point that the rest of the run is planned around.
They should. Note where they are before choosing the cabinet, because a valve you cannot get to after installation is a real problem the first time you need it.
No - accessories are non-refundable, so confirm the clearance around your specific trap before ordering a pull-out for that space.
