I'm buying a Kraftmaid 36" farmhouse sink base. Will the 36" sink fit the base or should I go with the 33" as some have recommended?

I used 36" base. you will have to modify the 36" base and cut it down unless you get base that is meant for farmhouse sinks. We also framed inside the base to support the sink. If you go with 33" sink in 36" base, you will need to frame anyway, why go smaller on the sink? it works great with some thoughtful adjustments to the base. Another note, you will need shorter doors too as sink is deep. get the correct base and you will be fine.

My sink base was built by the contractor and the new countertop was cut and mounted by countertop installer. The only problem I encountered was the plumbing had to be redone because of the depth of the sink.

There's a lip for the under mount & you need clips under the counter to hold the sink in place, so expect it to take up quite a bit of room. 36" has room, but I would not expect it to fix in anything less than 35".

The foot plate/base and the "roof" sticks out further than the actual cabinet. The larger 33/25 is more accurate for footprint. The base is built so that it doesn't tip, even though you might need to anchor the unit. That is the best I can give you.

Let me give you a qualififed "yes" because I do not know the model number of the sink. In any case, after getting confusing answers even from Franke, I decided to order the grild unit in stainless and it fit my 20 year old sink like tailor made. Worst case, if it does not work out, you can always return it. Good luck!

Mine is a 36" vanity and I wouldn't want to go any smaller then that. Can't see that it would work out.

I ordered this sink (30"), and it fits perfectly in our 30inch Martha Stewart cabinet. Kohler also makes other similar sinks which are a little wider, and designed to fit in 33 inch cabinets. This 30" sink will definitely fit in a 32.5 in cabinet. However, you will have to build an inside support structure to bear the weight of the cabinet, as it won't sit on the edge of the cabinet itself. Hope this helps.

Any standard size vanity sink will work since the depth of the cabinet is 21"D. if you are looking for a one piece type top & sink unit, it will be a 37"x22".

33" is really wide, but the unit will fit. The real question is the thickness of the door across the moulding. Mine is 7", and the unit fits fine.

My opening is approximately 30". I suggest you check the mfg. specs. I shopped around and found Amazon to be the best price by far. No problem with shipping or delivery. I was advised by a kitchen designer that Blanco stainless steel sinks are the best. Good luck!

Probably through Kohler. This sink fits over a standard 36 inch cabinet sink and doesn't require any special design, your contractor can just cut out the drawer front. It's not as deep as a typical farm sink to allow it to fit over standard cabinets.

you'll need at least 1 inch on each side to let the sink set on the cabinet so the minimum is 33 inch....

We also had a standard 36" sink base with a 33" inch sink. The new Kohler fit excellent. the false drawer front has to be removed along with top frame board of the cabinet. The sink is a full 36"s so it covers the entire front of the cabinet but the bowl area installs in a slot approximately 32" within the counter top and cabinet framework, so there is wiggle room for installation. We love the sink and have a garbage disposal attached to it as well with no sound issues. Kelly

My inset base width is about 31 1/2" and the width of my cabinet from the wall is 24 1/2". I pulled my old plywood base off the cabinet and put a new one on that was thicker and sturdier than the old one. That way I was able to cut the inset perfect to fit. The new base plywood was inexpensive and very glad I did it as I put new granite on top. Sink looks beautiful. Just use a little baby oil once a week to rub it down. We get a lot of compliments on it.

The sink fit perfectly in my Kraftmaid 30" sink base cabinet. They make a cabinet specifically for this particular sink. I couldn't be happier with it!

Pretty sure it should fit. It is a great sink so worth the effort trying to get it to fit.

Measure the inside length of your 30" cabinet. Its probably 28.5". The outside of the basin measures 28" and the flange is 1" wide all around. It should fit, however the flange measures just under 1/16" thick. If you have the skills to plane off that amount from the top of the cabinet sides (maybe draw a plum line and sand down removing the material). Just keep in mind that your countertop will need rest flush on the top of the sink and your cabinets, and you should be in great shape :)

Hi Millie - it looks to me that the base cabinet for this sink will be suitable for the Kraus 33 inch farmhouse sink. The Ikea cabinet has an overall width of 35 7/8 inches, while the Kraus sink's overall width is 33 7/8 inches, resulting in a clearance of 3/8ths of an inch - or 3/16 of an inch on each side. The depth is ample for you to put in the faucet - we put in a Grohe 32 665 DCO faucet, which has been a real star.Good luck with the installation,Bill
