Our sink cabinet base is 33 inches. It's the only size that works in the kitchen without filling it full of 9 inch cabinets. I didn't think too much about it until I started looking for kitchen sinks. We have ordered regular formica counters (which could be the subject of a whole other post; basically, it's not worth it to us to do stone countertops since we are trying not to over-improve), so we need a drop-in. A standard sink is apparently 33 inches, which is too large for a 33 inch base. The next size of down for drop-ins is pretty much 27 inches. What?? I can't be the only person in the world that need a sink to fit a 33 inch sink base.
When I finally did find a 31 inch double sink, each side was strangely small, so I started looking for a single sink. No dice. Then I saw this 31 incher on amazon:
While a small side sink doesn't seem too useful, I ordered it based on the fact that the main part of the sink looked big, and the sink as a whole was a lot wider than 27".
In person, the sink was even bigger than I expected! I think it's going to work out great. I even like the side sink.

Yay! Having a too-small sink would be rough. Good job finding one that works. :)
