A Farmhouse Sink for a Smaller Kitchen
The Nantucket 30" workstation sink is made for a kitchen where space is limited. You still get the dramatic, timeless look of a fireclay apron front, in Matte Black or White, and it fits a 33" cabinet. A ledge runs along the inside of the bowl, so the wood cutting board sits right over the sink and you can rinse, chop and clear in one spot.
Clare's tip: A 30" farmhouse sink still gives you that dramatic farmhouse look, and it's very practical too. Being able to lean right up to the sink makes every task easier. You don't have to lean across a counter to work.
Why the Offset Drain Matters
Many 30" workstation sinks have a center drain. On this one the drain sits off to one side, which frees up cabinet space under the sink for storage and plumbing. The sink is finished on all four sides, so it can be turned to put the drain on the left or the right, whichever suits your kitchen.
Start With the Essentials, Add What You'll Use
The sink comes with a wood cutting board, a basket strainer and a lovely stainless steel bottom grid. The grid protects the glaze and has a square drain opening that matches the sink's clean lines. Beyond that, you choose only the extras you'll actually use, like the Nantucket stainless colander, made to sit on the same ledge.
Clare's tip: If I bought this sink, I'd want the colander too. And don't miss the bottom grid with its oh-so-stylish square drain hole!
Matte Black or White
Matte Black is a very popular choice for a bold, modern kitchen, and classic glossy White never goes out of style. Both are fireclay with a porcelain enamel glaze that is non-porous, resists stains and scratches, and naturally absorbs sound, so there's no need for padding underneath.
Clare's tip: Matte Black can look stunning in the right space. I sometimes get asked about water spots, but fireclay is such a forgiving material. I wouldn't worry about them.

Before You Buy
- This is an apron-front sink. It needs a 33" farmhouse (apron-front) base cabinet.
- The sink measures 30" x 19" x 10". Fireclay sizes can vary by up to 1/4", so wait until your sink arrives before cutting your countertop or cabinet.
- There are no faucet holes. Plan for a faucet mounted on the countertop or the wall.
- Decide which side you want the drain on before installation.
- Planning a garbage disposal? Because fireclay is thick, an extended flange may be needed. Your plumber can confirm.
- The sink weighs about 116 lbs. Have it professionally installed, with the cabinet base built to support it.

Common Questions Answered
What cabinet do I need?
A 33" farmhouse (apron-front) base cabinet. Farmhouse sinks usually need a cabinet about 3" wider than the sink.
Can I choose which side the drain is on?
Yes. The sink is finished on all four sides, so it can be turned to put the offset drain on the left or the right.
Is a 30" sink big enough for everyday cooking?
For most kitchens, yes. The single bowl takes large pots and baking sheets, and the workstation ledge adds prep space without taking up any counter.
Does Matte Black show water spots?
Fireclay is very forgiving, and the glaze is non-porous, so a quick wipe keeps it looking good. Nantucket's care instructions, in the documents on this page, have the details.
