A sink with a kitchen table provides not only the convenience of using the sink for its intended purpose, but also guarantees the creation of an attractive and holistic interior. Conventional designs that are not equipped with cabinets are considered not too beautiful, so they are difficult to fit into the interior of the kitchen.

A kitchen sink with a curbstone has many advantages:

• the walls of the bedside table act as support for washbasins, since under the influence of a significant pressure of water, significant loads act on the sink, therefore, the design must cope with them;
• the underframe makes it possible to hide ugly sewer and heating pipes, as well as various hoses designed for a dishwasher or washing machine in the kitchen, so these items will not be available in the interior;
• some designs are equipped with different shelves and even a back wall, which not only increases the comfort of its use and functionality, but also guarantees the protection of the walls of the room from moisture;
• the owners of the premises themselves have the opportunity to attach shelves to the design on which various household items will be stored.

Often, a washing machine is installed in the kitchen, since the bathroom is too small, so there is simply no possibility for installation, and in this case, the hose for the kitchen set is supplied for the washing machine so that it does not spoil the appearance of the room.

Most often, a kitchen cabinet, on top of which a sink is mounted, is used to install a bin that is not visible due to the presence of decorative doors. This product may be included with the headset or purchased separately, however, in any case, it should perfectly match the rest of the interior in the kitchen.
