The sink is a beautiful sink, and I've gotten many compliments. However, it is a pedestal sink, so small children may have problems reaching over the side of the sink. They may need to use a small step stool to reach. Also, with the water turned on full power, you will experience water splashing over the sides, even though this model is fairly deep. Also, while washing your face or other washing activities, water will splash over the side and may need to be wiped up. It happens to us, but we have a small towel next to the sink to wipe up small water sprays. I don't have any small children, but my niece and nephews come over and use the sink on a weekly basis.

I was a plumber for 46 years and never put one of these style sinks in for children there great for your master bath or powder room for guests, accent type sink

I don't have children, but I would probably get a deeper and recessed sink for the bathroom that they would be using. My one complaint with it was that it is about an inch too shallow. It's great for an adult, who can be careful, but I think kid's propensity to splash would cause regular messes. Vessel sinks also sit higher, so kids have a hard time using them.Jesse B

Yes, it would be hard for them to reach the faucet even with a stool. I don't have small children but have done enough remodeling to know that it's just too high for them to reach over. It is best for ages 8 and above.

Good evening Thomaswhen I purchased the porcelain water dispenser and stand and put the stand together I reinforced the stand with wood glue and better screws also adding a few more screws..we move it everyday with a five gallon glass water bottle..on top of it to clean the floors...with the reinforcement it's very sturdy...and has been for the last year..as for small children around it it is the perfect height for them to knock it over....the waterspout would be at Chin level for a 5 year old or a little lower.... Over all the crock is fantastic, stand could be higher... product works well for us.. but with kids I would put the crock on a counter or a table.

I have installed 2 in bathrooms with vessels. They are tall and would not work well with a standard sink.

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it.I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason.I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

Yes, we are very happy about out choice of sinks. We were skeptical about order something so important for our kitchen online, but we were happily surprise. We search online for a long time before we decided.

I think it would be too big. For example, I have a normal-sized tub, and this takes up fully half of the length of the tub. But, because this has the two different halves, you might be able to safely situate it with the deeper, basin half in one half/side of the two-basin kitchen sink, and the other, slanted half's legs in the other side of the kitchen sink, if that makes sense.

Yes, it works quite well for me. I have a double sink, so I bought two. I keep one on the garbage disposal side at all times to prevent silverware (etc) from falling in. This works very well in my kitchen.

Looks like the Gourmet Chef kitchen has a better sink, with fun knobs and a deeper basin (from pictures it looks that way - I didn't get to see it in person). I probably still would have chosen the one we got for storage reasons, as there is a good space beneath the Creative Cookery model that is large enough for a basket of extra toys.

Did you ever find a tall kitchen for your daughter. I am in the same situation.. Looking for a tall kitchen for a tall girl any suggestions.

Personal opinion is no . It will look funny as your sink is too small. Will it work, probably yes, bit would recommend something smaller as it will look over sizedPS I am very happy with the faucet, looks great and works great

No, not unless your sink is unusually huge. Thankfully though, it is so long and the legs are nice and grippy, you can straddle most kitchen sinks with it or just put it on the counter near by. It also sits nicely in an adult tub later when kiddo is sitting up but you don't want to use the adult tub by itself yet.

This sink is awesome. Looks good in my kitchen. The smaller side is 10inches and the bigger side is 19.I think you should be able to install the small side on the left or right side.I have the smaller side on the right side and that's where my garbage disposal is also installed.Hope this helps.

Your sink should be on the larger side. We use it in the bathtub and that works well. My granddaughter adores bath time now! Great product.

Depends on how big your sink is. My sink was too small and it is double tub. It is more for a bathtub though. I highly recommend this tub for the older months when you have to put them in a tub. The seat feature is awesome for when they sit up. If your baby is still small enough for sink just buy a cheap one for the sink but buy this for when they can sit up! You will be thankful.

be sure to get one that comes with mounting hardware as it is somewhat specific and will save you time hunting it down. It just screws into the wall like any wall mount sink, as in it has some holes/slots in the ceramic casting that the bolts slip into. It's a good little sink, just be sure to get a fairly small faucet, and since it doesn't have overflow hole, it could potentially overflow, but it's so small it's unlikely one would use it for much other than a quick wash. We primarily got it so our spare bath would count as a half-bath and we had a very tight fit.

It should fit into a standard sink that does not have a divider. If you have a divider, then the sponge can bend a little to fit and your baby will end up sitting up during the bath. Just a side note: perhaps I may be a little rough in wringing out the water, I bought mine 3 months ago and today I noticed that bits of it is already coming off (imagine a regular kitchen sponge that's coming apart). I still think it did its purpose.

That issue had me confused, too; but I decided to buy it for my daughter anyway. I looked it over before taking it to her, and it looked adequate to me. My daughter has had no complaints and says it IS a space saver. It looks very nice in her kitchen, too. I helped with the dishes once and didn't have a problem with putting silverware in its container. If you're sloppy putting things in there, you might have to right them again; but, honestly, it just doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Hope you like it. It's very attractive and sturdy.
