A Big 36" Workstation Sink With a Reversible Offset Drain
Big farmhouse workstation sinks with an offset drain are hard to find, and the Nantucket 36" is one of them, in Matte Black or White. It has the dramatic, timeless look of a fireclay apron front, and 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. With no counter in front of the bowl, you can lean right up to the sink to work.
Clare's tip: If you have the space, go big. I don't believe you can ever have a sink that's too big!
Why the Offset Drain Matters
The drain sits off to one side instead of in the middle. It frees up cabinet space under the sink for storage, plumbing and a garbage disposal. 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.

Common Questions Answered
What cabinet do I need?
A 39" 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.
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.
