The Ruvati sink is exactly what we wanted to sink into our new countertop. It has a shallow undermount depth, but add the 1 1/4" to the top of the counter and it became about 7" deep. We are tall and hated the last sink we had because of its 9" depth, which made it over 10". It was a back breaker. Good shallow sinks are hard to find at any price. We opted for a double sink again, although considered a single, because we still use the rinse sink for stacking hand washed dishes and twice daily pet bowls. The 16 gauge quality of this sink is very nice, plus it came with two grids and nicer than usual drain plugs.
