Does the "bump" out below the faucet mentioned by the reviewer limit the usability of the sink?

I had the same concern. The key is getting a sizable enough faucet. I think mine is 5.5" which works just fine.

Not at all! I love the sink, and don't notice the bump. Our faucet extends out beyond. Someone else mentioned a super tall faucet...not needed at all in my opinion. I really like how classic the sink is and have been very happy.

That "bump" is slight and not in the way at all. I think that the bump is there as a sort of dam to insure that running water will go down the overfill drain when needed.

No, it certainly doesn't. The "bump" actually conceals the typical overflow holes that any normal sink would have. It's a beautiful sink, but do pay attention to the pedestal portion (2 of 2 parts) that can have a mold/casting problem. Not bacteria, just form. I sent my first one back, the second was more straight but 0.5 in taller...makes a difference for such a tall sink.

I don't love the bump under the faucet, but in my opinion it does not limit its usability. The usable part of the sink is in general more narrow than our antique sink, but this has not caused us any problems. It is a very attractive sink.

No but I would recommend a taller faucet. A shorter faucet design made the bump annoying so we swapped the faucet put for a taller one and it works nicely. Live the sink

I have it installed over a single bowl rectangular stainless sink as well. It sits in the middle of my island and is a show stopper. It looks fabulous and not to tall to me. It's sleek design keeps it from being overpowering like so many other tall faucets. I've had this faucet for 2 years now and I still love it!

Yes - there is a small gap. I found the sink easy to install - very happy. Buy the optional grate for the bottom of the sink

Yes: the sink comes with 4 round stickers saying "knock-out if required. See instructions." They are spaced across on either side of the faucet hole. (I made a template of their location and saved it for possible future use.)

Yes, you're right about this, I have found the same thing with mine but it doesn't bother me too much because I like the faucet so much. The faucet I had before this one had a cheaper lightweight sprayer and it was a pain too, because it was SO lightweight. It also did not retract very well. We have a pull-down sprayer/faucet in our laundry room and it isn't perfect either, even when I push it hard up into the faucet head, it usually falls back out a bit. With this Sonoma faucet I've just become accustomed to lifting the sprayer to a position where I know it will either begin to retract on its own or I can more easily push it back down. I hope this factor concerning the faucet won't bother you too much.

I honestly don't know. I have a deep sink and that doesn't seem to be a problem.

I went on line and looked under images, I never drilled a hole/pit in the floor, resistance against the bottom of the sink and floor, (pointy end down), seem to keep it in place, I took a level to it, I did a 'trial' fit first thinking I would go back and add the 'beauty' ring/floor cap but haven't , its been three months, and it has worked well, good luck

follow the faucet install instructions. as the other response provided, the faucet doesn't penetrate the sink flanges, only in the countertop.

Yes, there is a built in overflow - it is the round silver feature on the right hand side of the sink just under where the faucet is attached. We bought this sink for our very small half bath and everyone who see it loves it.

It can be either. I have my undermounted with the granite coming even to the edge of the actual sink. You can have it backed off to the edge of the flange and mount your faucet to the sink itself but still have the countertop over some of the deck flange too. -it is an awesome sink!

slight inward curve at the bottom of the sink does not create a quality issue. I'm sure this is done for aesthetics. a clear sealer between the countertop and sink can be used if you choose

I wouldn't. The sink is with the counter top fabricator , but as I remember it is under mount only as there is no top lip.

We have a Moen Old World Bronze faucet with this sink. We undermounted the sink under granite...it looks great. Be aware though...if you have hard water this sink spots easily.

My answer is the same as Chirper's. My faucets are mounted on the granite above the skinny side of the sink. The sink is undermount, so the facets do not mount on the sink itself.

Don't think this sink is applicable for over the top counter installations-plenty of other sinks available-why take a chance?

Our plumber didn't have any problems. I have this sink and it is fantastic. One of my favorite parts of the whole kitchen.

The style of sink you're referring to is called a vessel and no, this faucet wouldn't work "out of the box" for a vessel.
